Project Status
From Winnipeg Digital Repeater Group HSMM
- Setup of main site - mostly done, the excellent 55 Nassau has:
- excellent coverage of the city, now with 4x 2.3Ghz sectors
- good, fast server with VM support, and routers
- excellent internet access
- mounting capacity for more backhauls to later sites
- Expansion in Winnipeg: much todo
- St.James site online, no dedicated backhaul yet
- W and NE sites are still being researched
- UofM site is in progress, slow due to the fact much work can only be done during work hours
- Expansion outside of Winnipeg
- Woodlands site is broadcasting, on the network (36 mile 5.9Ghz backhaul to 55N) soon
- Selkirk and Steinbach sites are under consideration
- Looking at Portage la Prairie and Gimli options
- Content and network use: - much todo
- Network is running fine for general internet access
- With server VMs can start creating forums / storage / 'apps' for hams
- Redundancy - much todo
- still looking at sites for backup server
- still need another main site and more radios/antennas so that every main tower has redundant backhauls
