High Speed Multimedia for Amateur Radio
Build a High Speed Amateur Radio Microwave Network
Using commercial off-the-shelf equipment and developing their own software, groups of hams have created high speed wireless Amateur Radio digital networks with wide area coverage.
The possible uses for these high speed data networks in the Amateur Radio community are endless. Virtually any service that works on the regular Internet can be adapted to an Amateur Radio high speed multimedia (HSMM) network, including video conferencing, instant messaging, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), network sensors and cameras, remote station control, and many other services. With the capability to send real-time video and data files, the public service and disaster support aspects of Amateur Radio are expanded tremendously.
This book introduces HSMM networking, explains the basics of how it works, and describes the various technologies in use today. Later chapters explain in detail how to deploy your own HSMM network, along with various applications to put it to work. Well illustrated step-by-step instructions will guide you through the process of installing and configuring software needed to get your HSMM network up and running.

Amateur radio operators in the USA and at least some other countries have access to radio frequencies in the microwave ranges. In fact, radio hams have had access there since before there was practical equipment to actually use that spectrum. Today's wi-fi and terrestrial broadband connections share some of those frequencies, which allow the licensed operator to use commercially produced equipment to create broadband data networks that parallel (and in some cases actually link to) the internet. This book discusses the implications, limitations, and techniques available in great detail, and with many useful references to material in print or on the the internet.
Much of it is highly technical, but at least for the licensed operator with an interest in computer networking, this is valuable information. I found it pretty heavy going in places, but very much of interest. Plenty of practical applications already exist.
