Java and Javascript are NOT the same thing o.o
To the op, I'm guessing a bad signal here as well though.
As for a solution, you could build it as a web application based in PHP or Javascript that sends data down to an apache server. Sounds a little more responsive than something built in Java. No pro here, take what you can.
You do realize he never said he wrote it in Java. And seeing as how he flat out said it was written in Javascript where" you can input data from a laptop in a helicopter then that data goes to a server in the hq office." ...that is pretty much what you suggested. Although you suggested doing this to fix their "bad signal."
And it sounds like a load balancing problem. Either the webservice that processes the requests made has some issues handling calls in parallel, or the server is too shitty to handle more than 5 connections at a time.
