Any node can be a "HUB" A node is not limited to one connection.
There may be hardware limitation about the number of connections a
given piece of hardware and internet connection can support.
Typically, a HUB is located on a higher bandwidth internet
connection and is running a more "stout" piece of hardware. A HUB
usually does not have a node radio connected to it, but there is
no reason it can't. A HUB usually runs DAHDI/pseudo for it's
rxchannel.<br>
<br>
As a example HUB 2100 is running on a decent internet connection
and decent hardware. We are running the beta test of the DMR
<---> AllStar gateway on it so it has a NW Digital DV3000
connected and is using chan_usrp instead of pseudo for it's
rxchannel.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
