HSMM-Mesh

HSMM-MESH™ ( http://www.hsmm-mesh.org/ ) is a high speed, self discovering, self configuring, fault tolerant, wireless computer network that can run for days from a fully charged car battery, or indefinitely with the addition of a modest solar array or other supplemental power source. The focus is on emergency communications.

In its current form it is built using the Linksys WRT54GL wireless router and operates on channels 1-6 of the 2.4GHz ISM band, which overlaps with the upper portion of the 13cm amateur radio band. Other platforms and bands may be supported as development resources permit.

HSMM-MESH may be used to provide a good field day network to use with the N3FJP logging software. Read the article here: http://www.hsmm-mesh.org/fd-logging-with-mesh/136-hambuds-fd-2012-and-mesh.html
