Part of ham radio IP networking's strength is the ability to stream video from cams. Because nobody wants to watch a cam where nothing's happening, we grab screenshots and update them every few minutes.

Don't upgrade any Mikrotik ac3's to the latest nightly build. A subtle issue was found that will keep it from working properly after a power-cycle.

. Spending time looking at various hilltops up and down the California coast, looking for possibilities for our 10 GHz backbone. First link is 42 miles, doing 1.2-1.5 Gbits/sec aggregate (full-duplex). πŸ™‚

Precisely why we need to get behind . Even if a given node doesn't desire to provide links for voice traffic, the same backbone can move APRS & NTS traffic & provide the ability for system admins to remotely control their nodes. Plus, it makes use of our *extensive* microwave allocations.

@N3VEM has real potential, I think. For one, it has the ability to link D-STAR and YSF repeaters over amateur radio rather than commodity internet. You know, an *actual* backup system ...

Go for it, I say, knowing I don't have to do any of the work! πŸ˜„

- not specific to AREDN, but in testing Mimosa 10 GHz gear (moved into the ham portion of the band) for backbone use, we're getting about 600 Mbits/second each way (full-duplex) over a 40+ mile link. Gear's NOT cheap, though... ARDC grant FTW :-D

The 3.23.4.0 firmware added support for a whole new line of WiFi AC hardware for AREDN nodes. Check out this list of supported gear! kit.co/k2exe/new-aredn-support
I'm most excited to potentially replace the AR750 in my cyberdeck with something that has external antennas like the HAP ac^3

iperf3 throughput test through two high quality 802.11ac links: ~16Mbits/sec. Short links, but still...I'll take it :-)
