AREDN donates Mesh Networking equipment to ARRL

The *Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network* (AREDN) project team has donated
several pieces of High-Speed Multimedia Mesh (HSMM) hardware to the ARRL
Laboratory

The ARRL say:

HSMM technology has evolved rapidly in recent years, due to the development
efforts of the AREDN open-source project.

“This has changed the complexion of mesh implementations from an
experimental, hobby-oriented, novelty into a viable alternative network
suitable for supporting high-speed emergency communication and Internet
connectivity,� said AREDN’s Randy Smith, WU2S. “To further our shared goal
of supporting emergency responders, AREDN has donated a substantial kit of
mesh networking equipment to ARRL for its familiarization and deployment.�

Smith said both ARRL and AREDN would work together to provide written
guidance on the best practices for using the networking capability to
provide such services as voice-over-IP telephony (VoIP), streaming video,
and e-mail. AREDN was used to provide connectivity during the 2016 New York
City Marathon. “The AREDN project is working with ARRL to inform the
Amateur Radio community about this high-speed, low-cost networking
technology,� Smith said.

The hardware donated includes:
• Two Ubiquiti Nanostation M3s for 3.4 GHz
• Two Ubiquiti Nanostation Loco M5s for 5.8 GHz
• One PowerBeam PBE-M5-300-ISO for 5.8 GHz
• One AirRouter HP (combination 2.4-GHz and Ethernet switch)

ARRL Laboratory Manager Ed Hare, W1RFI, notes that AREDN’s repurposing of
3.3- and 5-GHz WiFi equipment “will allow Amateur Radio to provide
alternative modern high-speed digital communication� for both routine and
emergency applications. “These capabilities, combined with the proven track
record of Amateur Radio to deploy communications systems under a wide range
of adverse conditions, showcase the capabilities of Amateur Radio in a
technological world,� he said.
