This month's Program:
    May 15, 2014, 7:30pm NOTE: THIRD THURSDAY -
    Practical Applications for High Speed Mesh Networks,
      presented by Mr. Keith Elkin, KB3TCB

Broadband-Hamnet - (formerly called HSMM-Mesh) is a high speed,
self discovering, self configuring, fault tolerant,
wireless computer network that can run for days from a
fully charged car battery, or indefinitely with the addition of
a modest solar array or other supplemental power source.
The focus is on emergency communications.

In its current form it is built using the Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS
wireless routers and operates on channels 1-6 of the 2.4GHz ISM band,
which overlaps with the upper portion of the 13cm amateur radio band.

Other platforms and bands are in development at this time.
Next will be Ubiquiti equipment with others supported as development
resources permit.

Broadband-Hamnet is currently being designed, developed and deployed
as an amateur radio broadband communications system. It originated in
Austin, Texas but has spread all across the USA and many other countries
around the world.

Glenn KD5MFW, David AD5OO, Bob WB5AOH and Rick NG5V are the gents
spearheading the efforts, while yours truly, Jim K5KTF keeps the website
 up and running to provide information about the project.
Conrad KG6JEI and Andre K6AH of the San Diego Working Group lead the
Ubiquiti firmware development.

There is a distributed development community with users in a number of
areas of the USA and other continents.
