Convergence of the Naval Information Infrastructure

Abstract

Converging voice and data networks has the potential to save money and is the main reason Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is quickly becoming mainstream in corporate America. The potential VoIP offers to more efficiently utilize the limited connectivity available to ships at sea makes it an attractive option for the Navy. This thesis investigates the usefulness of VoIP for the communications needs of a unit level ship. This investigation begins with a review of what VoIP is and then examines the ship to shore connectivity for a typical unit level ship. An OMNeT++ model was developed and used to examine the issues that affect implementing VoIP over this type of link and the results are presented.
