not only incomplete but also fundamentally inaccurate
Many problems with this article. (1) Use of the word system, as I believe you mean for it to be used, is very ambiguous, and incorrect in the context of "JNN System". JNN, which comprised MULTIPLE systems within a singular nodal element, was the name of a single Node, not the name of the "system". In its early days the 2nd generation of the NETWORK was JNN-N (JNN Network), Never was it called the JNN "system". 1st Generation was JNTCS (Which stood for Joint Network Tactical Communication System)

Either way, it's use in present terms is also incorrect, even as of the last update to this page, which occurred years after its incorporation into WIN-T and subsequently "Force Modification" and "Force Modernization" rendered the JNN network naming convention obsolete. I retired from working on this equipment just as they were changing from WIN-T to "Force Mod". I believe they also changed the names of the nodal elements (I. e., JNN) so the new network was dissimilar to any of its predecessors, even in naming conventions. I may be wrong on that though.

The Promina is not a switch, and was never a core element, being strictly FDMA point-to-point. In fact it was rarely used within the constraints of the network, except to gain global access, or as an alternate access medium.

JNN was modeled after the earlier Baseband Node (BBN), and earlier versions incorporated elements of the Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) switches, which it was designed to replace as migration to data and VoIP began to make their way to battlefields, eventually rendering MSE obsolete.

Beyond that, I tried reading this article from a non-insider point of view, and my reaction would be... "huh?" kinda like the AFLAC duck reacting to Yogi Berra. "What is this article even saying?" Anyone not already in-the-know would not be able to make sense of it. Those in-the-know wouldn't need it. My recommendation: (1) Completely rewrite the article or (2) delete it altogether. 49.144.72.189 (talk) 04:16, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
