Wideband Networking Waveform/ WNW

Definition

WNW is a JTRS-family wideband mesh waveform optimized for backbone connectivity between vehicles, command posts, and aerial relays. It carries higher throughput than SRW and is intended as the IP transport layer that links lower-tier mesh segments into a theater network. WNW is government-owned and certified across multiple radio platforms.
