WiFi Products and Service Providers

While not directly part of traditional amateur radio activity, WiFi technology has become increasingly relevant for hams, especially for station control, remote operation, and linking repeaters. Many operators use WiFi networks to connect their transceivers to computers for digital modes like FT8, or to access internet-based services that enhance their on-air experience.

Hams often look for robust WiFi equipment to build reliable local area networks at their stations or for portable operations. This includes high-gain antennas, access points, and routers suitable for outdoor use or challenging RF environments. Specialized shops, such as InterProject WiFi Shop and Aerial.net, offer a range of components from brands like MikroTik and Ubiquiti, which are popular for their performance and flexibility in amateur radio setups.
