The radios will be 802.11-based [[HInternet/HSMM|HSMM]] gear. See [http://www.qsl.net/kb9mwr/projects/wireless/modify.html Steve, KB9MWR's page] on how to tell your firmware to use [[HInternet/HSMM|HSMM]] compatible channels. | |||
The architecture will be an 802.11s (open80211s implementation) mesh in the backbone, with fixed towers forming the core of the network. Each tower will service a subnet, and each subnet will itself be an 802.11s mesh. Each subnet mesh will be independent of the backbone mesh and all other subnet meshes. Towers will route packets between subnets and filter traffic to ensure compliance with FCC part 97 regulations. | |||
There are four major bands suitable for use by hams transmitting spread spectrum: 420-430 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 3.4 GHz, and 5.8 GHz. Within a region, one band will be used for tower-to-tower connections, and the other bands will be available for use by non-tower radios. | |||
The initial goal of the first wave of HInternet backbone deployment is to transmit a "golden packet" between New York and San Francisco. Further backbone deployments will concentrate on expanding the network towards the north and the south to cover the rest of the continent. | |||
