IS-1 Division Naval communications is charging into the future and George Washington's IS-1 Division is leading the way. These proven professionals maintained communications guard for not one. but five flag officers and their staffs dunng the deployment, each with their own unique requirements. The GW represents the state of the art in fleet communications capability. An example is our Challenge Athena II capability, which gives the ship over 1.544 Megabytes of bandwidth used for a variety of functions from telemedicine to transmission of critical intelligence imagery. The GW is also unique in its ability to offer what we call “Sailor phones. Sailors can call home to share a few moments with husbands, wives or friends, a service that was previously unheard of aboard ship. IS-1 was a major player in the historic first live newscast from a carrier at sea. George Washington and Denver's KMGH-TV successfully conducted six live news feeds from the Adriatic Sea to KMGH’s Denver studio. Always the leader in providing customer service. ISI's professionals earned their second consecutive GREEN C award and are well on their way to number three. The IS1 professionals are definitely the “East Coast’s Finest .
