Hot Spot and Gateway Access

Hot Spots
NEDECN will permit Hot Spot connections for the convenience of NEDECN Members in areas of poor repeater coverage, or those who are traveling and away from New England for seasonal or other reasons.  A limited subset of talk groups will be provided through our IPSC2-NEDECN Server and our partner IPSC2-CAN-TRBO Gateway.  Any abuse or technical issues such as looping, cross-linking, high loss rates or robotic keyups will result in blocking of the user at fault.  
Further configuration info can be found at:
Please support both CAN-TRBO and NEDECN through reasonable donations!

HBLink and DMR Bridges
NEDECN is focused on providing a reliable, quality communications infrastructure throughout the New England states.  To meet that objective we require a controlled, authenticated network architecture.  Experimental software gateways have not provided the level of control and network management that our repeater owners and trustees require.  No HBlink gateways and DMR Bridges meet NEDECN criteria.  Any such links will be terminated.
