O que estamos esperando para montar nossas redes baseadas nessa tecnologia ?

Here are my top reasons for using off the shelf Part 15 wireless ethernet

devices for Amateur Radio RF networking:

 

1.) They are fast, speeds in the 1-11 Mega-bit ranges.

2.) They already opperate on frequencies allocated to amateur radio.

3.) As is, under Part 15 they have proven to work for links 5-20 miles

4.) They are cheaper than a traditional ham packet setup.

5.) They use a proven sucessful networkable protocol, TCPIP.

6.) They use a modern modulation technique called Spread Spectrum

 

7). It will probably take decades for hams to come up with anything more

    well suited for high speed RF networking.

 

Proof is in the pie:

 

1.) All 2.4 GHz DSSS 802.11 is 11 Mbps with slower fall back rates. http://hydra.carleton.ca/info/  (Pay no attention to the outdated prices or advertised ranges)

 

2.) You have 3 bands to choose from 900 MHz, 2.4 & 5.7 GHz. (No re-rocking, reprogramming needed!) Don't like microwave propagation?  Legally to do any significant speeds you really need to make use of the 900 MHz bands and up. (if we fail to use these bands we will eventually loose the allocations)

 

Speed and or bandwidth constraints for data [97.307(f)(1)]

 

Frequency Range           Speed Limit for       Maximum Bandwidth for

                          Specified Codes       Unspecified Codes

50.1 - 148 MHz            19.6 kilobauds        20 kHz

222 - 450 MHz             56 kilobauds          100 kHz

Above 902 MHz             No speed limit        No bandwidth limit

 

 

3.) Review what commercial ISP's have been doing. http://isp-lists.isp-planet.com/isp-wireless/archives/

4.)

-Typical 1200/9600 Ham setup-

Paccomm Tiny 2  - $150

MFJ data radio  - $120

100ft RG-8/9913 - $ 55

Decent Antenna  - $ 60

           TOTAL: $385

 

-Wireless ethernet-

 WLAN NIC/AP     - $150

 100ft LMR-400   - $ 65

 24dB Parabolic  - $ 70

            TOTAL: $285

 

Note:

Using AXIP technology you can carry existing AX.25 traffic over a wireless ethernet link.
