Nanosatellites will be part of Army comms future

The Army is looking toward nano communications satellites for coverage of remote areas.
The Army has already built the experimental SMDC-One nanosatellite. "It's basically a cell phone tower in space, except it's not for cell phones, it's for Army radios," said Travis Taylor, a senior scientist for the Army's Space and Missile Defense Command - Tech Center Space Division.
