  1. Winlink 2000A Digital Communications System with support for P2P, intranet, and internetE-Mail & File exchange via Amateur Radio

  2. Internet WL2K System Overview CMS Halifax CMS San Diego CMS Perth CMS Brentwood CMS Wien World wide COMMON MESSAGE SERVERS (CMS) Synchronized and Redundant – one or two required - five available Think of these guys as Net Control

  3. Internet CMS Halifax CMS San Diego CMS Perth CMS Brentwood CMS Wien Normal Email Server Situation normal – direct access via the web Using RMS Express – Outpost or other compatible message client WR4CC@WINLINK.ORG ANYBODY@ANYWHERE.ORG

  4. Internet CMS Halifax CMS San Diego CMS Perth CMS Brentwood CMS Wien Situation normal or ECOM – direct access via RF LINK Regularly used by Maritime & RV Using RMS Express – Outpost or other compatible message client No commercial traffic on Amateur Freqs. – watch third party overseas! HF or VHF ANYBODY@ANYWHERE.ORG WR4CC@WINLINK.ORG Maritime Marine

  5. Radio Radio Data Interface Data Interface CMS ANY or all of them Your Normal Email Server The last mile! HF or VHF RMS Special Software Layer MR-ANYBODY@ANYWHERE.ORG RMS_SYS_OP@WINLINK.ORG VHF (packet) or HF (Pactor or Winmor) WR4CC@WINLINK.ORG

  6. Radio Radio Data Interface Data Interface CMS ANY or all of them Your Normal Email Server The last mile! HF or VHF NORMAL INTERNET RMS Special Software Layer MR-ANYBODY@ANYWHERE.ORG RMS_SYS_OP@WINLINK.ORG Emergency situation where this link Replaces downed internet link Agency System (LAN) County EMC Red Cross or Hospital WR4CC@WINLINK.ORG

  7. Radio Radio Data Interface Data Interface HF or VHF PEER TO PEER (P2P) JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DIGITAL MODE Normally Not keyboard to keyboard ANY_HAM@WINLINK.ORG WR4CC@WINLINK.ORG

Audio and PTT (or CAT) interface {Rascal, Signal Link or HB} Within full quieting range of Packet RMS Station – (listed at www.winlink.org) VHF/UHF Radio

  9. What Is Needed to Use the System To Access an RMS HF Gateway (Worldwide) Computer with RMS EXPRESS or compatible email client software. Terminal Node Controller TNC (sometimes called a modem) Hardware or Software (Pactor or Winmor compatible) Audio and PTT (or CAT) interface {Rascal, Signal Link or HB} HF Transceiver (stable) – for fully automated system you will need CAT interface and propagation predicting software on the control computer.

  10. Winlink 2000 Today by the numbers • Over 99% system availability since Nov, 1999. • 5 Full-time, Redundant, Mirror image, Common Message Servers (CMS) in Halifax, San Diego, Washington DC, Perth, and Vienna all in hardened sites, providing excellent reliability, worldwide. (Wash DC is DHS sponsored, Halifax is Canadian Sponsored) • 600+ total Radio Message Servers, worldwide, in 3major Service Classes: Public, EmComm, Amateur, and Government (MARS controlled) maintaining separate operations. • Approximately 13,000Radio users communicating with over 100,000Email recipients, pushing an average of 150,000messages or 280,000 minutes, monthly, with an average duration of 3.4 Minutes at 3,600 bytes/per message. The average time from message origination to availability for delivery is less than 1 minute, regardless of distance. • The greatest growth is now in Emergency Communications preparedness. (Not all Amateur Radio)

  11. Support – Incident Command, Search, Report health and welfare of affected public Voice communications among served agencies (EOC's, hospitals, shelters, and incident command.) Site tactical and rescue, damage and storm reporting (SKYWARN). “Formal,” - limited written emergency traffichandling – RTTY at best. Traditional role of Amateur Radio in ECOM:

  12. Since the advent of e-mail: Need for delivering written procedures, lists, graphics, images, and Pre-defined, formatted, documents to multiple recipients! Multiple recipient e-mail with binary attachments is the de facto standard to carry written information. Hand-written message forms are seldom used, and are nottransparent to normal operations! For complex messages, voice, Morse code, Radiograms, and traditional Packet radio won’t do… Way too slow, translation required, inflexible, prone to error, no permanent record, not self-originating, not point-to-multipoint. Doesn’t go end-to-end from user-to-user on their own computers in their own offices & no attachments and no automatic distribution.. Why Winlink?Our traditional methods fail to meet needs for complex message handling in today’s agency environment!
