What is HSMM-Mesh?
Mesh wireless network
Using Router
that have
HSMM mesh
software
installed we
create a
network just
for hams that
is self healing
the more
routers the
better.
What does it have to do with Ham
radio
Channel one of 802.11B/G wireless band is shared with
the ham radio 2.4ghz band
Ham radio on the 2.4 ghz band allows us to use
100watts of power . Or 50dbm
FCC part 97 rules instead of part 15
What do we use for hardware
We use different hardware one is the WRT54G linksys
router. Can be found used for around $25.00
We don’t need a computer to be connected to mesh
with other routers.
You don’t need to be physically connected to the node
to make changes.
You can connect to any other node that is connected
from your node.
What is HSMM-PI VPN
HSMM-PI is HSMM for Raspberry PI.
HSMM-PI VPN is VPN software
What is a VPN Virtual Private Network
VPN is a Virtual tunnel
that allows you to
connect networks thru
the WEB (in our case)
Raspberry PI is a
small $35.00 open
source PC that has
no extra
peripherals.
What does this mean?
By creating a VPN this allows us to connect up HSMM
networks that would not be able to be connected up
using the Wireless mesh.
This is done using $50.00 worth of parts on both sides
of network and using the internet to connect up
networks.
