Wireless mesh networks provide robust connectivity among a number of nodes. The use of high-frequency radio links extends this concept beyond line of sight to provide potentially global coverage. In this paper, we explore the capabilities of HF radio mesh networks, and evaluate the performance of multi-hop beyond-line-of-sight networking in both local (NVIS and surface-wave)) and long-haul applications. Two alternative channel access technologies are compared: automatic link establishment and fixed-frequency MAC protocols. The data handling capacity of HF radio mesh networks is computed as a function of the path length through the mesh network (a key metric in line-of-sight mesh networks) and as a functino of number of nodes.
