Dear Agamum,

Many thanks for your positive comments!

The communication is through a government satellite system and viewing is accessible with a password and ID.  Voltree will work on getting this information posted.

Why didn't we get to see the actual system communicating? :(

Wow this system looks insanely impressive. Also I wasn't expecting to see anyone explaining the specifics of how these things work. Refreshing to see people who know there stuff for a change. Rather then just ones who work on a base technology.
