The Newest, Most Flexible Amateur Radio
Internet Linking System!
WIRES
™
–
ll uses DTMF signaling to establish a
bridge, using the Internet, from your repeater or home
station to another WIRES
™
–
ll-equipped station
anywhere in the world. No proprietary tones or
connection formats are used, so any manufacturer's
radio (equipped with a DTMF encoding keypad) may
be used to bring up the Internet link.
The flexibility of the WIRES
™
–
ll concept allows you
to configure the system to allow on-the-fly selection
of linked or non-linked communications. Therefore,
in fast-moving emergency communications situations
where both local coordination and longer-distance
reporting are required, WIRES
™
–
ll allows local
communications to be interspersed between linked
transmissions. And because WIRES
™
–
ll uses voice-
recording technology as a buffer, WIRES
™
–
ll calls
will never interrupt a conversation in progress on a
distant repeater.
At the repeater site, a personal computer is
connected to the HRI-100 WIRES
™
–
ll Interface Box,
which serves as a command and audio-patching
controller for the Internet bridge to your computer.
Either a dial-up connection, or a high-speed line such
as a DSL or ISDN line, may be used for connecting
to the Internet.
WIRES
™
–
ll provides two operating network
concepts. Up to ten repeaters and/or home stations
may join together to form a "Sister Radio Group" for
closed-network operations, ideal for emergency,
school, or sister-city groups. You can call any repeater
within your SRG group using a single DTMF digit.
And the host WIRES
™
–
ll server also maintains a
world-wide listing of repeaters operating in the
"FRG" mode ("Friends' Radio Group"), any of whom
you may call using a six-digit DTMF string to
establish a link.
