![NASA’s original communications network was a complicated analog system that required manually plugging and unplugging wires to link different ports (left). By the 1980s, the Agency was ready for a digital upgrade, and it turned to Compunetix to design and build a digital system that allowed voice connections and conference loops to be reconfigured instantly and automatically (right).
