All,
I'm giving a presentation on the use of ham data networks for public
service. I have in mind examples like:
-- deploying mesh networks at art-and-wine festivals to provide VoIP
connectivity to info booths, video surveillance of parking lots, etc.
-- deploying mesh or other WiFi networks at a bicycle or foot race to report
statistics, etc.
But rather than just offering ideas of what COULD be done, I'd like to show
the folks some examples of what others have ACTUALLY DEPLOYED. What I'm
looking for is:
-- Description of the event (event name, purpose, who attends, how big,
etc.)
-- Description of the data networking need (why bother? Why not use
commercial facilities? etc.)
-- What services you deployed: VoIP, video, file server, .
-- What network you deployed: equipment, architecture, and why you did it
that way vs. any other alternatives you considered
-- Lessons learned
-- Pictures and/or diagrams, if you have them, are important
Although this is the right group to target with this request, I don't want
to burden this list with replies. So please make replies off-list.
Thanks much in advance,
Michael
