SUMMARY

The USS Enterprise (CVN-65), commissioned in 1961,

was the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. When

the ship was inactivated in Norfolk, VA in December 2012,

most of the ship’s company moved to land-based working

and living quarters or other U.S. Navy vessels. For nearly

300 of the crew, however, a “berthing barge” docked

adjacent to the carrier became their temporary home and

workplace until they were detailed out.

Internet access was an essential component of the barge if

it were to function as an efficient workplace and serve the

recreational needs of the crew on board. To provide the

crew with faster, controlled Internet access while aboard

the barge, CradlePoint worked with solutions architect

partner, 4K Solutions, to deliver 4G/LTE broadband

wireless through the Navy’s current cellular provider,

Verizon Wireless. The berthing barge installation included

CradlePoint MBR1400LE-VZ routers, CradlePoint WiPipe™

Central, and Wifi-soft wireless networks and hotspot

systems management solution.

BUSINESS NEEDS

Initially, the berthing barge was connected to the Internet

via a T-1 line. Due to technical and operational constraints,

effective connection speeds soon measured in kilobytes.

Such slow connectivity hampered the sailors’ ability to

complete their work efficiently. But it also became a morale

issue. The slower network performance impacted sailors’

ability to manage personal business and communicate with

friends and family back home.

“With the CradlePoint solution, sailors aboard the

barge now have a much faster, 24/7 connection

to Internet and commercial email,” said Lt.

Young. “This means that the crew can get its

work done during work hours, and have time to

relax and enjoy online activities with their families

afterwards.”
