    kb9mwr writes "Using Part 15 Wireless Ethernet Cards For Amateur Radio. Create a high speed packet radio link/mini-network based on using Part 15 wireless ethernet cards which already use overlapping ham
    frequencies.


    As (unlicensed) Part 15 devices they have omnidirectional ranges up to about 5 miles, and directional ranges up to about 17 miles using high gain antennas. As Amateurs we are allowed to re-classify these devices under Part 97, since they already operate on ham frequencies. We can then modify them for greater communications ranges (if necessary) by the use of pre-amps, RF amplifiers, and high gain antennas. Then by placing a central routing computer in the middle of town, or on top of a tall building or hill with an omni antenna, they can then serve as a high speed alternative to existing amateur packet technology.



    There are numerous manufactures of wireless LAN products. They
    operate on the shared 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.7 GHz bands, with speeds ranging from 2 Mbps to 11 Mbps. All Spread Spectrum Wireless Ethernet Cards are suitable for Amateur use.



    If your like me and are seeking a simple way to build a high speed,
    affordable, RF network, where you mimic the internet and have webpages, conferencing, FTP and so on, I encourage you to look into this technology and use it.



    Full details for this project and how to adapt it for ham use may be
