That's awesome you have stuff running. What bands
are you using over there
for access and backhaul?
Stuff running are mostly in the lab (virtual servers, gateways) and
through Internet VPNs for now. Anyway, on the air, we have one 2.4 GHz
link (with modified Linksys WRT54GL) and one 5 GHz link with UBNT
PowerBeams. We made several field tests about covegage / distance (over
sea, over mountains, in city/crowded area, etc...). We'll use UBNT in
the near future, because it's more powerful, easy to use and cost
effective. We'll also test Mikrotik, because lots of people are using it
in Europe, and it seems interesting. I think we'll use 5 GHz for links,
and 2.4 GHz for user access.
Our sites already connected, or being connected, are :
- La Punta (JN41IW) : North of Ajaccio bay : VHF repeater, meteo
station, remote contest station tests (TS590 with beam and PA).
- Coti-Chjavari (JN41JS) : South of Ajaccio bay : UHF repeater
- TK5EP home in Ajaccio : Our President, OpenVPN client (test of future
VPN user access)
- TK1BI (me) home in Soccia : IPSEC VPN (site-to-site VPN), 2.4 GHz user
access, UHF repeater with Raspberry/DIAL VoIP testing (current project),
and various other things being tested
- TK5DG in Ajaccio : a user which hosts the first "TkNet box" (a
router/ipsec) behind its home ADSL box. It has a 2.4 GHz uplink to La Punta.
- TK1CX/P in Corte : solar-powered site on a mountain, UHF repeater,
APRS, HF + 50 MHz station, d-star hotspot (5 GHz link ready to be
installed, waiting for spring...)
- TK4NU in Ajaccio : d-star fan, owns several d-star equipments, is
impatient to be connected to the network (but I'm not ready for d-star
yet...)
- MEDI (my company) : datacenter (core of the network : hp Proliant
ML350G5 full redundant "second hand" dedicated for hams, HyperV
virtuaization, all the VMs running Debian 8)
- OVH (cloud provider in France) : small server with Proxmox
virtualization, serves as an additional VPN concentrator to reduce latency.
- TK1BI/M : my car, also called "MAEVA", for "Multimedia Autonomous
Embedded Vehicle Automation" ;-) It's a Raspberry Pi, with 3G/4G router,
2 WiFi antennas (AP and client), VPN, VLANs (Pro, public and ham),
computer-controlled VHF and UHF TRX, Asterisk, GPS, Bluetooth,
HiFi/music player and car OBDII integration. (under heavy development...)
- TK1BI/P : my Android phone, for mobile VPN testing,
monitoring/supervision, remote control of servers via WEB interfaces,
VoIP clients (SIP and IAX2)
Of course, lots of things are still theoretical, or under testing :-)
But some others are up and running, that's why we would like to define
our IP strategy now, so that we do not have to change IPs later.
