This was done just by holding the units in the air, which yielded a stable 16Mbit/s connection. They started by establishing a 10 km link between DB0SHA, in Hanover, and DB0UHI in Laatzen in less than 10 minutes. While arousing interest in experimenting with the new technology, and developing new applications.

Use of affordable a technology, and setup something independent from public networks. The idea and hope is to support cross services (voice, images, data, video etc.) by using TCP/IP as the base. Due to some displacement by the Internet. Sharply declining use of existing obsolete, slow, failure-prone equipment. Their situation is probably much like that over here. They are using the Ubiquiti WLAN module NanoStation 5 on the 6-centimeter-band (5.7 GHz). In addition, a separate hardware and firmware for this application was developed. Hamnet 2.0 works on the basis of the TCP/IP protocol, so that commercially available wireless routers can be used with no or minor modifications as the hardware. The official launch of the project and the presentation was made on the amateur radio exhibition and conference on Octoin Hanover, accompanied by relevant lectures. Hamnet 2.0 is a radio based network designed by German radio amateurs, which connects the already available infrastructure of the amateur radio service to each other and will provide a new powerful base for a amateur internet wireless network.
