IRLP and EchoLink use Voice-Over-IP (VoIP) technology to connect radio operators from one location on the globe to another. IRLP was developed by a Canadian operator and is based on the Linux operating system. Access to the world-wide system is only via a radio through a local repeater. EchoLink was developed by an American operator and is based on the Windows operating system. Access is through a local repeater and directly through a computer that is connected to the Internet, enabling operators without radios to connect to radio operators through the world-wide EchoLink system.
IRLP - Internet Radio Linking Project
"The aim of this project is to reliably and inexpensively link amateur radio systems without the use of RF links, leased lines, or satellites.The IRLP uses Voice-Over-IP (VoIP) custom software and hardware. Coupled with the power of the Internet, IRLP will link your repeater site or simplex station to the world in a simple and cost effective way.
IRLP operates a worldwide network of dedicated servers and nodes offering very stable worldwide voice communications between hundreds of towns and cities. All this with unsurpassed uptimes and the full dynamic range of telephone quality audio." - from IRLP Home Page
