Hi all,

I wanted to inform you of a Raspberry Pi project I created using OLSRD.
The project is HSMM-Pi (https://github.com/urlgrey/hsmm-pi), and it turns
a Raspberry Pi into a High-Speed Multimedia (HSMM) wireless mesh node. The
OLSRD daemon and its assortment of plugins are truly amazing! I'm very
grateful to the OLSRD developers for creating such an excellent tool.

Cheers,

Hi Scott,

The description on your github repo looks quite interesting!

If the list admins do not mind my posing an off-topic question, I am
curious what is the preferred approaching for announcing to the
neighborhood / community when one begins broadcasting on 802.11b/n/g bands
at the higher TX powers permitted by HAM licenses? That is, what are
interference mitigations, whether caused toward other users of the band, or
vice versa?

Thank you.

Hello,

I've always wondered how does HSMM comply with the 2.4GHz ham radio bandplans.
According to the european at least, this part of the spectrum should be used
for other modes and not spread spectrum digital communications.

Hi Ben,

It's my understanding that HAMs in the US have primary privileges only on channels 1-6 of the 802.11b/g/n spectrum. Users of that spectrum wanting to avoid interference or degraded services are best off using channel 7 and up, which is why a lot of consumer wireless access points have a default channel or 7 or higher. I am not encouraging people to blast their neighborhood with 1500 watts on channel 1, but their obligations to their neighbors are no different than when transmitting on the HF/VHF/UHF frequencies (in the US).

Regards,
