Germany and the Netherlands To Build the First Ever Joint Military Internet
The accord was signed on Wednesday in Brussels, Belgium, where NATO defense ministers met this week. The name of this new Dutch-German military internet is the Tactical Edge Networking, or TEN, for short. This is the first time when two nations merge parts of their military network, and the project is viewed as a test for unifying other NATO members' military networks in the future. The grand master plan is to have NATO members share military networks, so new and improved joint standards can be developed and deployed across all NATO states. TEN will be headquartered in Koblenz, Germany, and there will also be a design and prototype center at the Bernard Barracks in Amersfoort, the Netherlands.
