These boxes might be ideal for the military. The boxes could be taken to a secure area near the battlezone and plugged in. They would provide processing power and an information cache for soldiers in the field. Instead of relying on high-latency satellite links, the information would be a short distance away (which also saves bandwidth).<BR/><BR/>Since the boxes are somewhat portable, they could be moved as the battlefield moves. They would have to be really secure, though, because of the nature of the data.Andrew Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374490546610576558noreply@blogger.com
