On February 23rd, Canada took itÂ’s first step toward the creation of a
national amateur radio DMR network with the launch of the first
inter-provincial DMR networking server. This server, known commonly as a
“c-Bridge”, which is manufactured by Rayfield Communications, will serve
as a network hub for Canadian amateur radio DMR repeaters, allowing them
to reliably link to one another and to the larger DMR-MARC global network
using the Internet. The Canadian c-Bridge is located in Montreal and is
currently supporting several DMR repeaters in Ontario and Quebec,
including the VA3XPR digital DMR repeater located in downtown Toronto.



A special thanks goes out to all who made the launch of the Canadian
c-Bridge possible, including Alain, VA2SPB, Chris, VE3BNI, Stephane,
VE2TAX, Pierre, VE2PRT, Mike, AA9VI, JP, KC9KKO, John, W0PM and Don,
VA3XFT.





For more information on the Canadian c-Bridge and how your organization can
connect their DMR repeater to it, please contact Don Trynor, VA3XFT
