Wide-Coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System

The Newest, Most Flexible Amateur Radio

Internet Linking System!

WIRES™–II Outline

WIRES™–ll uses DTMF signaling to establish a
bridge, using the Internet, from your repeater or home
station to another WIRES™–ll-equipped station
anywhere in the world. No proprietary tones or
connection formats are used, so any manufacturer's
radio (equipped with a DTMF encoding keypad) may
be used to bring up the Internet link.

The flexibility of the WIRES™–ll concept allows you
to configure the system to allow on-the-fly selection
of linked or non-linked communications.
in fast-moving emergency communications
where both local coordination and longer-distance
reporting are required, WIRES™–ll allows local
communications to be interspersed between linked
transmissions. And because WIRES™–ll uses voice­recording technology as a buffer, WIRES™–ll calls
will never interrupt a conversation in progress on a
distant repeater.

At the repeater site, a personal computer is

connected to the HRI-100 WIRES
which serves as a command and audio-patching
controller for the Internet bridge to your computer.
Either a dial-up connection, or a high-speed line such
as a DSL or ISDN line, may be used for connecting
to the Internet.

concepts. Up to ten repeaters and/or home stations
may join together to form a "Sister Radio Group" for
closed-network operations, ideal for emergency,
school, or sister-city groups. You can call any repeater
within your SRG group using a single DTMF digit.
And the host WIRES™–ll server also maintains a
world-wide listing of repeaters operating in the
"FRG" mode ("Friends' Radio Group"), any of whom
you may call using a six-digit DTMF string to
establish a link.

Your Hand-held or Mobile is Now Your Bridge to the World,

and Your "Local" Repeater Will Never Be the Same!

WIRES™–II uses DTMF signaling to connect your hand-held or car transceiver, via the

HRI-100 Interface Box, to the Internet, and from there the sky really is the limit!

WIRES™–ll Introduces Two Unique Networking Modes for Radio-Internet Linking:

A closed network of up to ten repeaters that have agreed to form a "Sister Radio Group" (SRG). Access to any other group station

SRG

is accomplished by the sending of a single DTMF digit at the beginning of the first transmission.

Repeaters around the world, as they register into the WIRES™–ll Host Server, may become part of the "Friends' Radio Group" (FRG),

FRG

and you might get a call from just about anywhere in the world the next time you're on the air during your morning commute!
