The Oregon HamWAN Backbone Project Sample Clauses

The Oregon HamWAN Backbone Project. We are applying for this grant to fund the deployment of HamWAN in Oregon. Specifically, we are applying to fund deployment of 12 HamWAN backbone distribution sites between Portland and Salem, Oregon to extend the Puget Sound Data Ring, which currently extends from Seattle to Vancouver Washington, from Vancouver Washington to Salem Oregon, plus additional equipment for education and demonstration purposes. HamWAN is a technology that supports high speed Internet connectivity (over 100 Mbps between backbone distribution sites, and up to 10 Mbps to each client node) over amateur radio using the 5.8 GHz band. Since HamWAN requires line of site communication, an effective HamWAN network requires deployment of HamWAN backbone distribution sites on towers. HamWAN supports a range of up to 50 miles between towers. Each HamWAN site typically consists of three HamWAN Distribution Sectors, each offering 120 degrees of coverage, and typically one or more point to point links. A HamWAN site may also include a server supporting email, web, IP telephones, etc., and may include an Internet gateway (hardwired or satellite). Every HamWAN site should include provisions for good emergency power. The KOIN TV Tower Site in particular offers us unlimited Rack Space and its generators can power the site for two weeks without re-fueling. It is the most hardened site, so we will put the network servers there. The value of HamWAN comes from the ability of amateur radio operators to setup mobile or portable HamWAN nodes, which can be aimed toward the nearest HamWAN Distribution Site to provide emergency communication via Internet during disasters. Such a mobile or portable setup requires HamWAN equipment costing less than $100, as well as an inexpensive WiFi router and a 12 Volt battery. Oregon is at extreme risk of a major Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. In the hours immediately following a disaster, when the Internet, landline, and cell phone communication is likely to be disrupted, effective communication between volunteers, first responders, hospitals, and government agencies is critical. Amateur radio has always played a vital role. Unfortunately, voice communication is slow, and traditional digital communication such as Winlink has severely limited bandwidth. The ability of amateur radio operators to setup portable HamWAN nodes throughout affected communities, and communicate effectively via email, including attachments, would add tremendous value. Since we plan to instal...
