High Speed Multimedia for Amateur Radio[1] by Glen Popiel, KW5GP, now is
available from ARRL. The possible uses for these high-speed data networks in
the Amateur Radio community are endless. Virtually any service that works on
the regular Internet can be adapted to an Amateur Radio high-speed multimedia
(HSMM) network, including video conferencing, instant messaging, voice over
Internet protocol (VoIP), network sensors and cameras, remote station control,
and many other services. With the capability to send real-time video and data
files, the public service and disaster support aspects of Amateur Radio are
expanded tremendously.
"The area of high-speed microwave networking and multimedia allows Amateur
Radio to take a giant leap forward in new methods of digital communication,"
Popiel said. "Through a blending of cutting-edge radio and computer
technologies, a completely new frontier has been opened for hams to develop and
utilize entirely new wireless networking technologies. The potential uses are
endless, providing a powerful platform ideally suited for portable high-speed
data networks, as well as tremendously enhancing the emergency communications
aspect of amateur radio."
This book introduces HSMM networking, explains the basics of how it works, and
describes the various technologies in use today. Later chapters explain in
detail how to deploy your own HSMM network, along with various applications to
put it to work. Well-illustrated step-by-step instructions will guide you
through the process of installing and configuring software needed to get your
HSMM network up and running.
