Emergency Minnesota Amateur Radio Disaster Data Network

Just after 9/11/01, some of the 11,000 FCC licensed
volunteer Amateur Radio operators in Minnesota decided
they could build a radio based data network covering our
region. This network would provide a reliable backup
email and data capability to support them in the event
of an emergency that disabled or overloaded normal
communications channels. We passed the hat and
collected enough funds and donated equipment to complete
a network using AX.25 packet radio technology, which has
been running to commercial reliability standards since
2002.
In order to provide modern, standards based, high capacity volunteer emergency communications services, we have built with our own funds and are now making available for general Amateur use our D-Star 90+ kilobit TCP/IP data network and related VoIP capabilities. This technology, which supports web based emergency computer applications, moves Amateur Radio back to where the FCC Part 97 rules say we belong- advancing the state of the radio art.
We provide volunteer medical communications planning, equipment and suport for two large urban marathons and a half marathon. We are now deploying our third generation very high speed data network, using mesh technology.
Our organization leads the delivery of up to date, NIMS-friendly volunteer emergency communications in Minnesota. We work across all served agencies.
