A Plan for Consolidation and Automation of Military Telecommunications on Oahu

Abstract : An overall goal of a future Oahu telecommunications system is to significantly reduce costs of operations, of maintenance, and of manpower. The objective is realized by automation of the message services, a consolidation of the facilities, and an integration of the multi-service user community with respect to the message services offered. Furthermore, these objectives can be realized promptly. The proposed automated system allows a small number of identical, distributed telecommunications centers to serve all subscribers independent of service affiliation, and independent of the subscribers geographical location on the Island.
