A low energy APRS-IS client-server infrastructure implementation using Raspberry Pi
Radio communication has great history of innovations. A hobby which helped in pioneering many innovations in radio communications that we are using today is radio amateurism. Hams are radio amateur hobbyists, which use radio communication to communicate, research, and explore new radio technologies and applications, such as Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS), which is digital communications information channel for Ham radio. Among other purposes APRS is used to report and map position of any stationary or mobile object via radio. In this paper we presented a low cost APRS client-server infrastructure using Raspberry Pi, APRSdroid, and software defined radio (SDR).
