## About AREDN
AREDN wireless networks are deployed by licensed Amateur Radio
operators typically in frequencies reserved adjacent
to and outside, in the US FCC part 15, unlicensed allocations.
The firmware created below enables the effective use of valuable and dedicated
frequencies for communication services to government and other
entities in times of disaster or other emergencies.
operators, Technician Class or higher, under FCC Part 97 allocations
adjacent to FCC part 15, unlicensed, WIFI, allocations. They are
configured as ad-hoc nodes to form mesh networks. The firmware
created below enables the effective use of valuable and dedicated
frequencies for communication services to government and private
relief organizations in times of disaster or other emergencies.
Amateur Radio frequencies are relatively clean of noise from the commercial
allocations and ensure usability for Amateur Radio Operators. This firmware
enables 802.11n wireless networks to be created and expanded with minimal
to no pre-planning or IT expertise. A user can deploy a 'node' anywhere
to connect in and extend an AREDN network. Device hardware options exist to
provide sector coverage, build point-to-point links, and enable end users
to connect in. High speed link rates are routinely achieved over long
distances, e.g. 60Mbps+ on 10MHz channels over 80km links.
