'''Note''': Connection bounces up and down (July 18th, 2022). The current problem is believed to be a poor power supply at this end. The plan to fix this is in two stages. First, replace the current power injector (which comes from a battery + solar) with mains injector. This will get the airFiber node up and stable. Second, re-evaluate the battery system and determine why its failing to provide the constant power required for all the equipment. The injector has been purchased (re: conversation with Mathison KJ6DZB 18th July, 2022) and people need to be coordinated to get it installed (schedule currently pending).

Backbone Map.png

The Bay Area Backbone Project is building solid, fast, links between major high sites in the Bay Area, which in turn supports a more stable mesh network. Backbone sites are permanent locations, not dependent on amateur radio operators' homes or difficult to access places.

Fish Ranch / ORCA

San Bruno Mountain

Status: Equipment installed. Not powered.

Connection: Non-AREDN, airFiber 5 GHz.

Notes: There's some question as to whether the Fish Ranch/ORCA part of this is actually installed.

San Bruno Mountain

Fish Ranch / ORCA

Status: Equipment installed. Not powered.

Connection: airFiber 5 GHz.

Black Mountain

Status: Proposed

Fire Station 8

Status: Proposed

CCCC

Mount Diablo

Status: Equipment installed. Intermittent active state.

Connection: Non-AREDN, airFiber 3 GHz. Acts as DtD.

Note: Connection bounces up and down (July 18th, 2022). The current problem is believed to be a poor power supply at this end. The plan to fix this is in two stages.

Richmond Field Station

Status: Equipment installed, Active.

Connection: Non-Ham, 5 Ghz AC gen2, unknown equipment.

Notes: Connects via DtD over non-AREDN radios, so appears as a wire connection AREDN, even though it isn't.

Mount Diablo

CCCC

Status: Equipment installed. Intermittent active state.

Connection: Non-AREDN, airFiber 3 GHz.

Note: Connection bounces up and down (June 13th, 2022). Connects via DtD over non-AREDN radio.

Richmond Field Station (RFS)

CCCC

Status: Equipment installed, Active.

Connection: Non-AREDN, 5 Ghz AC gen2, unknown equipment.

Notes: Connects via DtD over non-AREDN radio.

Black Mountain

San Bruno Mountain

Status: Proposed

Fire Station 8

San Bruno Mountain

Status: Proposed

San Rafael
