Digital Telecommunication in HF band - WWWAN - World-Wide Wireless Area Network


We at Rhizomatica are running the High-frequency Emergency and Rural Multimedia Exchange System (HERMES) already for some years, based on P2P connections in a star topology, using UUCP. Now it is time to move forward. This workshop is focused on the next generation HERMES network stack, which hopefully will allow for worldwide deployment of the network.

We at Rhizomatica are running the High-frequency Emergency and Rural Multimedia Exchange System (HERMES) already for some years, based on P2P connections in a star topology, using UUCP. Our current setup uses a proprietary P2P HF software-modem (called VARA) and UUCP on top of it, basically for email exchange, and ad-hoc file transfer and remote command execution. We are taking a couple of radios (sBitx v3) for a full chain demonstration, and also a fully functional board (without the enclosure) to donate to anyone who wants to play with HF telecom.
