Overview

Amateur radio mesh networking uses commercially available WiFi radios and antennas operating on amateur radio spectrum using amateur radio rules (FCC Part 97) to provide automated WiFi networking. The mesh software automatically discovers and configures routing to other neighboring nodes, making it simple and fast to deploy a multi-site network. Because of the nature of microwave propagation and mesh networking protocols, these networks are best used within individual cities or locales.
