Here in Winnipeg Canada we've operated the VA4WAN network for about 10
years now using ARDC addresses and BGP.
We operate a microwave network that covers about 300km of ground at 100mbit
to 1gbit speeds. That network provides intranet and global internet for
nearly all amateur radio around here.
We also operate from Air Canada's data center site with BGP and VMware
hosting anything for hams globally. HamPi gets TBs of downloads monthly
alone. We host EchoLink and other services such as voice control too.
As long as you're doing things that serve amateur radio and hams globally
you'll get support from ARDC. We've only had great experiences working with
ARDC and happy to help anyone we can.
Here's a YouTube live steam from one of our tower sites - that's 200km+
away along with DMR audio mixed in.

I think we've done great with putting ham radio into the IP world.

For my BGP routed subnet, my use case is mostly
Echolink conferences and
proxies (easy to utilise a LOT of addresses with proxies! Someone from
ARDC would have to confirm, but all of the use cases you've put forward
involve helping hams or ham radio itself, or providing services to hams.

Hi all,
The Terms of Service <https://www.ardc.net/about/legal/terms-of-service/>
states:
*"**Your license permits You to use certain addresses exclusively for the
purpose of Amateur Radio communications and experimentation, or other
special uses as may be agreed to by ARDC"*
I was wondering if this was clarified anywhere with examples of acceptable
use cases? A few examples that I'm curious if they're permitted or not:
- Hosting a radio club website that's accessible from the public
internet, including from non radio amateurs.
- Providing general outbound internet access for radio amateurs
connecting via RF, whether its AX.25 or WiFi operating on the allocated
amateur radio frequencies
- Hosting not strictly amateur radio services such as an IRC server
for discussing cars, but it's *only *reachable from other 44net
addresses and RF users
- Providing general outbound internet access to servers and services
that might need to pull software updates from non-radio amateur servers.
- Providing connectivity to a radio amateur related server such as a
DMR Master, to other radio amateur related servers *outside* of 44net
Any guidance would be appreciated.
