This was also in the ARES E-newsletter. Worth noting is that there are
WinLink products and users on this Emcomm LAN. It is based on PtP
distribution, with a some Point to multi-point. It differs from broad
band hamnet in that it is all stock Ubiquiti products based
non-modified, does not use node like connectivity, and no part 97
restrictions. But those BBHN out there are doing the same thing as far
as product distribution, just the Baja-San Diego network went a
different direction. Both work in the same venue of IP client-server
distribution.

Winlink products include HF gateway with auto forwarding that USA side
can take advantage of.
RMS Express PtP telnet users.
RMS Relay Post Office in service.
Differeing packet gateways using LAN to reach common RMS Relay.

Update on San Diego/Baja High Data Rate Emergency Network

There is progress on the HDRENS (High Data Rate Emergency Network of
San Diego) project: Our team has just completed installation of a new
high data rate relay point on the University of California, San Diego
tower, located on Mt. Soledad, California. There are two dishes at the
top of the main structure of the tower; one is for a 5 GHz link from
our central radio room location in Coronado, California and one 2.4
GHz dish serves as a relay looking out into our "client territory."
Both dishes are on rotators. The 2.4 GHz link has been positioned to
serve a number of our active ARES associates including our ARES EC
Bruce Kripton, KG6IYN.

The TX/RX data rates we currently measure on the 5 GHz link are in
excess of 50 Mbps. Our long range plan is to continue to expand the
high data rate network up the coast and inland to provide high data
rate private LAN backup for more and more emergency communications
clients including those San Diego County hospitals that choose to
participate.

The Mt. Soledad installation will now serve as a key relay point as we
reach out further into the lower and central San Diego County region.
We continue to share the high data rate emergency network with our
sister organization, CREBC, in Baja California, Mexico. -- Ed Sack,
