Lampedusa will be subjected to a double ration of radar waves through the activation of two new systems of military technology. In fact, there will be installed two new radar systems. The first one will be controlled by NATO task force operating in the Mediterranean area and it will be able to create a powerful wireless connection with an advanced system of « Wimax » (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access).
