HTML Map Contest
Hi AREDN Meshers!
The AREDN Team is looking for a few good men (and ladies)! The new mapping feature that is in 3.16.1.0 needs your help.
As some of you have seen, we have a good, workable KML map file. We would like to hold a contest to use that KML to create the best HTML based map that we can host on the www.arednmesh.org website.
CHALLENGE:
To create an HTML embedded map that utilizes the AREDN kml files that can be hosted on www.arednmesh.org.
SKILLS REQUIRED:
Front-end web development: Javascript, CSS, etc.
AREDN PROVIDED SERVICES/FILES:
- Full map with all bands: http://data.arednmesh.org/map.kml
- 900Mhz band map: http://data.arednmesh.org/map9.kml
- 2Ghz band map: http://data.arednmesh.org/map2.kml
- 3Ghz band map: http://data.arednmesh.org/map3.kml
- 5Ghz band map: http://data.arednmesh.org/map5.kml
REQUIREMENTS:
Your map should include (at minimum) the following (optional) query string parameters:

New Paper on AREDN Published by TAPR
The Proceedings of the 2015 Digital Communications Conference include a paper, The AREDN Project by Andre Hansen, K6AH, which introduces AREDN, describes implementation techniques and concludes with a roadmap for the future.
Abstract
Mesh technology has been around for ten years or more. Over the past two years a team of developers has advanced the art by porting Broadband‐Hamnet’s extremely popular mesh firmware to the Ubiquiti airMAX line of commercial Wireless ISP routers and expanded its utility across a wide range of microwave bands. This has literally changed the complexion of mesh technology from an experimental, hobby‐oriented, novelty into a viable alternative network suitable for restoring some degree of Inter/intra‐net connectivity “when all else fails.”
In the midst of this work the AREDN Project was kicked off to focus development on taking this technology to the next level in EMCOMM communications.
This paper begins with an introduction to the AREDN Project and mesh networking and concludes with a roadmap for the Project’s future. It dives into implementation techniques and aggressive plans to implement across broad portions of the Southwestern US.

ARRL Awards 2018 Microwave Development Award to AREDN Team
The ARRL announced that The Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network (AREDN) project team was named as recipient of the 2018 ARRL Microwave Development Award for its initiatives to utilize Amateur Radio’s microwave bands. These included extending the network’s high-speed multimedia capabilities from solely 2.4 GHz to 900 MHz, 3 GHz, and 5.8 GHz, and adding 802.11n protocol to improve data throughput. The Board also acknowledged the efforts of the many AREDN implementation groups around the...

AREDN™ - The Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network
Mesh technology has evolved over the years. Most notably, Broadband-Hamnet™ (BBHN) has made substantial progress over the past 2 years in expanding their unique approach to environmentally robust, commercially available, Ubiquiti, hardware. This has changed the complexion of mesh implementations from an experimental, hobby-oriented, novelty into a viable alternative network suitable for restoring some level of Inter/intra-net connectivity when “all else fails.”
Recently, the developers of BBHN software have kicked-off a new project focused on taking this technology to the next level. Comprised of the project manager, developers, and several of the testers who brought BBHN to Ubiquiti hardware, this team is geared to pick up where BBHN left-off.
The AREDN Project mission is to provide the Amateur Radio Community with a quality solution for supporting the needs of high speed data in the Amateur Radio and Emergency Communications field.
We invite you download and adopt the AREDN Release 3.0.2 and give us the opportunity to support your mesh implementation.
For the AREDN Team,
Andre, K6AH

See the official install instructions at http://docs.arednmesh.org
Download the Mikrotik .bin and the .elf file from downloads.arednmesh.org location:
elf : this is the image to boot the mikrotik device with. It only uses RAM on the device (which is lost with a power cycle and still boots with Mikrotik OS).bin : once the device is booted with the .elf image and running, copy this up to /tmp and type a command that will update the flash with AREDN, so it then boots AREDN on a power cycle.
