My use case is different from the more traditional packet/AX.25 use cases that some of you have implemented. For several years, along with KB2EAR and others, we’ve built a digital multiprotocol voice network for radio amateurs. Some of the infrastructure is hosted on the FIOS fiber network and some is at internet cloud providers. Net 44 has made it possible to create a virtual network that supports the reflectors, transcoders, and other services. We have fulltime repeaters using D-Star, DMR, Fusion and P25 and can also be reached via the Brandmeister and TGIF networks.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>At the core of the system is the XLX020 reflector, available at 44.64.12.57 as well as xlx020.k2ie.net on the internet. If anyone wants to use a Net 44 based digital voice system (that is also reachable via the internet) to run a net to support tech or public service matters please let me know. We have the capacity. Typically you’ll see traffic on Module A (Mid Atlantic) or Module D (Central NJ).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If anyone needs a PPS stratum 1 time source feel free to use ntp @ 44.64.12.36.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We use Net 44 to feed situational awareness data to the DAPNET servers. This is in turn fed to amateur POCSAG pagers through the USA, providing near realtime NWS warnings and alerts.
