08:08 AM EDT, 08/27/2024 (MT Newswires) -- EchoStar ( SATS ) subsidiaries Hughes Network Systems and Boost Mobile said Tuesday that they demonstrated multi-transport network management for the US Navy earlier this year.

The companies said the demonstration tested remote network orchestration, wide area network resiliency, and secure Radio Access Network sharing between private 5G networks at the US Navy Air Station in Whidbey Island, Washington, and another base in Hawaii.

The demonstration showed that the EchoStar ( SATS ) private 5G ORAN network can provide secure connectivity when a user goes outside the base, the companies said.
