What type of equipment is commonly used to implement an amateur radio mesh network?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. A wireless router running custom firmware
Amateur mesh networks are usually built from commercial wireless routers loaded with custom firmware, such as AREDN. Old 1200 or 9600 baud packet radios are far too slow.
Tip: Mesh = Wi-Fi router with ham firmware.
