Summary Week 1(Project definition)

• Power-reduced, Range-extended, Ad-hoc Tactical
  Link (PRATL)
• - Power-reduced Minimized power consumption.
  This allows longer life on smaller cheaper
  batteries.
• - Range-extended Increased range of
  connectivity. This allows units to be connected
  at a greater distance and maintain communication.
• - Ad-hoc- A single cell network connection
  method that can target specific nodes for
  connection.
• - Tactical Small well regulated military or
  naval operation.
• - Link Communication connection.
