Problem



Wartime mobile command centers require reliable
and adaptive communications network



Need a responsive network to dynamically change
routing, servers used for messaging/alerting, upstream
points of contact, encryption keys



Hardware/software footprint must be reliable, simple,
and integrated

Solution



ISR with AXP blade



Routing and policy decisions based on location and
situation



Dynamic, fine-grained control of router



Direct connectivity to proprietary serial devices
(e.g. mobile radio units) using ISR serial port

Benefits



Integrated interfaces to configure and monitor Cisco IOS



Cisco IOS event triggers allow application to dynamically
react to changes in the network



No extra server to support at the edge



Central, integrated device management
