In modern society more and more medical applications need a reliable data transfer. In emergency situations, such transfer may not be available because parts of the communications infrastructure may be affected. An alternative way could be the use of the amateur radio packet network, which offers almost global coverage. We analyzed its use as an emergency data transfer support, including transport of real-time medical data.
