SYSTEM X DMR GLOBAL.

What is SYSTEM X

System X is an independent premium DMR global network, managed and maintained by trusted independent network franchises & the FreeSTAR International network. The server runs RYSEN Master+ OpenSource DMR Master Server software, which has been develeped by radio amatuers for radio amateurs. A compilation of software by various software developers, to name but a few; Cortney Buffington N0NJS, Simon Adlem G7RZU & Shane Daley M0VUB. The server is native to MMDVM HB protocol and uses various techniques to act as a master, peer, & bridge server.

Currently there are only 8 System X servers in the world! Currently hosted in London United Kingdom, Stockholm Sweden, Granada Spain, Ohio United States & Sydney Australia. More servers will be available as the system evolves to serve closer to the region in which end-users connect.

The System X DMR Global Network can host multiple end-user applications including Pi-Star, BlueDV, OpenSpot, DroidStar, DVSwitch & more!

The project is an open project and we encourge experimentation, bridging & multi-mode technolgies on the network.
