Hello All,
Greetings from SFWEM land.
I have been looking at your documentation and it has improved from the last time I looked. Kudos! I am still finding broken links - is there anyone specific to report these?
I worked on a OSLR/CDMA Part 15 mesh about a decade ago and am familiar with it's limitations. While it does have its applications, it's not a great idea for a WAN.
SFWEM has been building nodes for a couple of years but has never done a network level test. They put up a node, run a speed test and declare success. I've been encouraging SFWEM to conduct a Simulated Emergency Test. I would expect a spectacular failure.
I would like to be prepared with alternatives when the AREDN limitations are discovered. I would like to understand your frequency plan. Your site mentions 5.9 GHz. Looking at some of the suggested radios (some with broken links) , it looks like the MikroTik coverage ends at 5875 MHz.
It sounds like there is work going on integrating AREDN islands connected to hamWAN. Any information you can share?
Happy Holidays, Thanks & 73,
