<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The ring is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology#Ring">
not so much of a ring</a> anymore, it's more of a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology#Mesh">
mesh network topology</a> in reality. It contains several rings (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_%28graph_theory%29">cycles</a>) inside the mesh (graph). The HamWAN cell sites offer a standardized network interface (frequencies, bearings, polarizations,
bandwidths, modulations, tdma, dhcp, ip). What you do with that is entirely up to you. You can connect to any number of sites at once (including multiple sectors at once at each site, and the
<a href="https://hamwan.org/Labs/Open%20Peering%20Policy.html">OPP</a> offering), and have your own private networking in between the routers that interface to HamWAN sites. You're not limited to using ring topologies in your own networks either.<br>
<br>
In short, yes, everything you're talking about is fine and doable.<br>
