Hi Jason,

I might be able to assist you with some ideas on the mobile emcomm side of things. I built a similar rig on an ambulance chassis to volunteer its use with my local communities. There are lots of options available to you, depending on how extreme you want to go with it. I opted for cellular service as the primary means for Internet connectivity, with HamWAN as an alternative path for VoIP, RoIP, Winlink, etc. There are also other solutions for bringing outside WiFi into the rig as another point of connectivity.

I've had a lot of people ask about the equipment I used, which lead me to build a website so people can reference the build-out process. It's still a work in progress, but most of the information is there, which should give you some foundational ideas for your rig.

Feel free to reach out to me off-list if you want to dive deeper into any of the details.

Regards,

Kyle Burgess

Hello from North Dakota

Earlier this year I purchased an Ambulance to set up for emcom as well as camping. As I am in North Dakota there is no HamWAN system in place. I do hope to travel to surrounding states so I would like to incorporate some highspeed data in the setup. I would like to put a wireless access point in for local connectivity for cameras. Has anyone tried to set something up like this?

Also I have thought for a few years about building a HamWAN cell site to allow access around town. I am still looking at roof tops to think if I can find something that could work.

A lot of pieces to find and put together so any info would be appreciated.

Thank you
