Andros Island Connectivity?

Tue Apr 30 21:45:28 UTC 2013

Harris/CAPROCK, http://www.harriscaprock.com, provides VSAT worldwide to shipping, offshore platforms and remote islands.

Additionally, Andros has quite a bit of undersea fiber going to it.  The USAF Eastern Test Range and the Naval base there was the forcing function.  The range contractor, http://computersciencesraytheon.com, could probably give you a heads up or if I can help I can call some friends there.
