This may be viewed as an off topic, but I think it's worth talking about since it has to do with building our systems out. What is out there that is affordable for hams to connect our sites using microwave or some sort of non line of site technology? I would like to link our sites together when there is not a commercial internet connection available. Also this is a concern for keeping a network up and connected in the absence of commercial broadband due to natural or man made disaster.
Look up Ubiquiti. I use them at the sites and they work Great! On Tue, Feb 17, 2015 at 3:44 PM, Robert Newberry <N1XBM@amsat.org> wrote:

Check out http://hamwan.org/ While building a managed network in western Washington, the intent of the HamWAN project is to provide a standard for operating ham microwave networks in a way that is secure, robust, and compatible with the Internet for services like Allstar, IRLP, Echolink, APRS-IS, etc. We've chosen Mikrotik hardware for its routing capability, but you could also use modems from Ubiquiti paired with another router. Specifically, we're using the Mikrotik Routerboard 5SHPn heavily, and newer point-to-point links have been deployed with various 802.11ac hardware from Mikrotik. These are typically paired with 2ft or 3ft dishes. http://hamwan.org/t/Radio+Modem http://hamwan.org/t/Directional+Antenna+-+High+Gain If you need any help with hardware selection or configuring things, drop into the project's IRC channel, #HamWAN on irc.freenode.org and we'll help you out.

And there always is Broadband Hamnet mesh. http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/ On February 17, 2015 3:44:57 PM EST, Robert Newberry <N1XBM@amsat.org> wrote:
