    100Mb/s is not a slow link, idiot.   
      
     Do you even know the problems associated with making a gyro stabilized   
   mobile tracking antenna system with a slew rate fast enough to handle the   
   bumps caused in a vehicle?   
      
     They are far greater than those associated with doing it in an   
   airframe.  THAT is why the mobile units need to stop to facilitate links   
   in some pieces of gear.   
      
     Even the manpack has a stationary antenna that gets planted before the   
   link is established.   
      
     The handheld is the only thing that is onmi broadcast from that segment   
   of the system.  That waveform is easy to integrate into the rest, and   
   those handhelds have been in the field for years, proving the function of   
   that segment of the system.
