ARLA/CLUSTER: Radioamadores propoem criação de redes "mesh" de emergencia

Radio hams propose emergency mesh network

*The Record* reports the *Fair Lawn Amateur Radio Club* proposes creating a
network for emergency use

The club is seeking the Fair Lawn borough's assistance to strengthen its
network to possibly be used in an emergency to assist the community.

During the council's work session on Aug. 16, Council member Kurt Peluso
said the club is asking for the council's permission to create a mesh
network and for some assistance with the funds to set it up.

"What they are looking to do is add a couple more larger towers, backbone
towers, so they can communicate throughout the community of Fair Lawn," he
said.

Pelsuo explained that one of these towers is already in place at the
community center, which is where the club is based, and some members have
individual units enabling them to communicate with each other through the
community center. Club members would like to add more towers on borough
property such as the water tower, the recycling center or borough hall.

The club could use this service for communication in the event of an
emergency. Peluso pointed to storms like Sandy and Irene as examples when
communication was lost.

*Karl Frank W2KBF*, president of the Fair Lawn Amateur Radio Club, called
this type of network "WiFi on steroids." He said just like individual homes
can wirelessly connect all their devices, this could do it for the borough
in the event of a communications failure.
