The AREDN network at N3FUD consists of three routers and several servers providing services to the users of the AREDN network.
The N3FUD-HBGPA-SN router is a Lenovo 93P Micro computer running the supernode firmware on a virtual machine, and connects to the AA3JC-HAPAC3-SUPERNODE router in southeastern Pennsylvania, the NC8J-OHIO-SUPERNODE router in western Ohio, the KN6PLV-BAM-SUPERNODE in California, and six other supernodes across the United States. These connections are part of a major AREDN network in the United States.
Internally, the N3FUD-HBGPA-SN supernode is connected to the N3FUD-MAIN (a Mikrotik hap ac3) and the N3FUD-NCPA (a Mikrotik hap lite) routers. N3FUD-NCPA hosts non-supernode connections to other AREDN routers, and N3FUD-MAIN hosts all of the servers/services hosted on the N3FUD AREDN system.
Services hosted on the N3FUD AREDN system include:
- a file server,
- a VoIP phone server,
- a BPQ packet server with a WinLink RMS connection,
- a TeamTalk5 server with video, audio, and whiteboard services,
- an AllStarLink server,
- two Tactical Awareness Kit servers,
- video cameras (live and still pictures), and
- webpages with weather, ADBS, and Ham Dashboard information.
I have three AREDN Go-Kit ready to deploy as needed. They can run on 120VAC or 12VDC (LiFePO4 100 AH batteries). The kits include 5GHz nodes to connect to the RF network (once established), and can provide 2.4GHz and Ethernet connections to the network. The kit supports VoIP telephones, cameras, and a BPQ packet server with a WinLink RMS connection.
There is a camera pod kit consisting of a router and four cameras, available for deployment, for 360° video or pictures. Separately, there are three single-camera kits with a mesh connection available for deployment at separate locations.
