Frank O’Laughlin, WQ1O, posts on the Cape and Island ARES Facebook page:
Several of the ARES guys in the CAIECN mesh group conducted a meshnet localized test with Sandwich Fire Chief Burke and Sandwich public safety/emergency management. We linked their warming center with the fire and police buildings. We tested video, IP phone, document transfer and data upload to an incident webpage. All of this was self contained and did not utilize any public internet or phone systems. We used VHF radio as additional support with our portable kits.
My thanks to all our guys for their time and efforts in making this happen. We will soon be working with Chief Burke for our next steps.
