Toronto CANADA AREDN Group - Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network
This group is to encourage the use of the AREDN mesh networking software to create a ham radio network. It's focused on MESH, all hams are welcome! https://groups.io/g/AREDN
Amateur Radio AREDN or Broadband Mesh Network Software and Hardware is for an amateur radio operators who are interested in setting up and expanding the HSMM Mesh Network for emergency communications and high speed data transfer, including VOIP, video, messaging and other networking tasks. Since we are using Amateur Radio Frequencies, at least Technician class FCC license is required. Currently we are using the AREDN Firmware (https://www.arednmesh.org)
This group is provided to share information on the Amateur Radio use of mesh networks first created for the greater Toronto, CANADA area. We are currently supporting BBHN and AREDN firmware using OLSR routing on both 2.4 and 5.8 GHz. radio nodes. The 3.4 GHz band is under evaluation. This group plans to discuss all aspects of mesh network deployment and applications such as repeater linking, VOIP and other network services useful to ham radio. EMCOMM implications of mesh will also be considered.
