Re: [44net] Use cases

Like others, we setup our network here (well, the current generation of it that uses WiFi links, tunnels, automatic routing, internet routing etc) in the first place to build a multisite repeater system.   We wanted to place receivers and transmitters all over the country and connect them into a single network using SVXlink. Others want to do the same thing with D-Star, DMR, etc.   And we have ATV repeaters that typically have a lot of equipment (receivers, transcoders, modulators, etc) that is all IP-managable and the operator of the repeater wants to control it from home. So we setup this network and we also installed access points for users, and  encourage then to experiment with e.g. VoIP.  And users also contribute to the redundancy of the network, when they have a WiFi link to some nearby access point and a tunnel over their internet connection to our gateway.  Such connections can become a fallback link to the site when a link to another site fails. Some of the equipment is accessible only from within this network, but some systems are accessible (on their 44.137.x.x IP address) from the internet, e.g. for Echolink connections to repeaters, status websites, WebSDR installations, etc. Rob On 8/10/21 10:58 PM, Lynn Grant via 44Net wrote:
