What People Build on 44Net
Participants use 44Net address space for a wide range of independent and community projects, often combining radio links and Internet routing in creative ways.
Personal and Home Infrastructure
- Remote access to home stations and personal systems (QTH infrastructure)
- Self-hosted services, dashboards, and control systems
- Personal blogs, documentation, and project sites
- Networked repeaters and gateways
- RF-linked backhaul and control networks
- Emergency communications and public-service systems
Community and Club Networks
- Amateur radio club networks
- Maker space and hackerspace infrastructure
- Shared servers and internal services for local groups
RF and Point-to-Point Networks
- VHF, UHF, and microwave links across neighborhoods and regions
- Long-distance RF networks spanning countries
- Point-to-point links between hilltops and collaborating operators
Overlay and Experimental Networks
- VPN- and tunnel-based private networks
- Mesh and ad-hoc routing systems
- Testbeds for new protocols and architectures
- Educational and laboratory environments
Behind each of these projects are volunteers who maintain systems, share knowledge, and give back to their communities, exemplifying the best traditions of amateur radio.
