AREDN Project - Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network

AREDN Project - Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network

Mesh technology has been around for ten years or more. Over the past two years a team of developers has advanced the art by porting Broadband‐Hamnet’s extremely popular mesh firmware to the Ubiquiti airMAX line of commercial Wireless ISP routers and expanded its utility across a wide range of microwave bands. This has literally changed the complexion of mesh technology from an experimental, hobby‐oriented, novelty into a viable alternative network suitable for restoring some degree of Inter/intra‐net connectivity “when all else fails.”

In the midst of this work the AREDN Project was kicked off to focus development on taking this technology to the next level in EMCOMM communications.

This paper [2] begins with an introduction to the AREDN Project and mesh networking and concludes with a roadmap for the Project’s future. It dives into implementation techniques and aggressive plans to implement across broad portions of the Southwestern US.

BTW: you may want to look at the AREDN group if you plan on doing anything with Ubiquiti gear as that is where all the BBHN developers have move to and are no longer developing the BBHN firmware. Channel -2 support for example is in the latest beta but Linksys gear can't handle it.

Formation
The AREDN Development Team was formed February of 2015 by former members of the BBHNDev team interested in making mesh software work for the needs of Amateur Radio Operators and emergency networks. The AREDN™ work is based on the experiences and skills gained working on the BBHNDev team.

Group Mission
To provide the Amateur Radio Community with a quality solution for supporting the needs of high speed data in the Amateur Radio and Emergency Communications field.
