From TCP\/IP fundamentals to deploying mesh technologies such as AREDN\u00ae, HamWAN, and Meshtastic\u00ae, readers will find clear explanations and step-by-step guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhen I began experimenting with amateur radio data networking, I realized there wasn\u2019t a single resource that clearly explained how it all works \u2014 especially TCP\/IP in terms the average ham could relate to,\u201d said Popiel. \u201cThat inspired me to create a practical guide to designing and implementing high-speed amateur radio networks. Since there\u2019s no speed limit above 70 centimeters, operators can integrate webcams, IP phones, and other networked devices. I hope this book encourages hams to explore, experiment, and enjoy networking on the microwave bands.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Digital Networking for Ham Radio<\/span><\/i><span>\u00a0covers selecting hardware, choosing network topologies, configuring systems, and staying compliant with FCC Part 97 rules.
