During the last 7 days (August 16 to 23, 2026), packet activity in Central Americaâ€Ös APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) network reflected stable behavior and decentralized distribution across VHF frequencies (144,930 MHz in the southern region and shared frequencies in the north) and digital networks such as LoRa (433,775 MHz) Adapt configuration guide APRS Panama v1.
Since the frames are injected directly to the decentralized global server APRS-IS, the estimated consolidated traffic for the Central American region exceeded the 45,000 successfully analyzed packets.
Package Volume Estimated by Country (Last 7 Days)
Country Estimated Volume (7 days) Active Dominant Infrastructure
Costa Rica 22,000 - 28,000 Gateways and iGates packages of the Radio Club of Costa Rica (TI0RC) and urban nodes in the Central Valley.
Panama 12,000 - 15,000 metropolitan core and repeaters in Ancon (HP1CDW-3) aprs.fi – live APRS map and LoRa networks in Colón.
Guatemala 3,500 - 5,000 packages Mainly telemetry and weather information (WX) stations in Guatemala City.
El Salvador 2,000 - 3,500 fixed iGates packages and intermittent identification beacons in San Salvador.
Honduras and Nicaragua Under 1,000 packets Reduced traffic contingent on portable mobile activations or temporary experimental stations.
Classification and Typology of the Cursed Packages
The traffic accumulated during the week was technically broken down into the following categories of radio data packets:
Position and Presence Packages (Beacons - 72 Geographical coordinates injected by fixed amateur radio stations and autonomous mobile trackers.
Weather Station Packages (WX - 16 Automatic data from local sensors that send regional weather reports to the internet via radio frequency (such as the HP1CDW-13 node) aprs.fi – live APRS map.
Network and State Telemetry (Status - 9 Technical diagnostic packages on the voltage of battery systems and solar panels that power mountain digipieters.
Direct Text Messaging (Messages - 3 Short frames of interactive interactive communication from station to station.
Performance and Efficiency of Routing
Statistics indicate a packet collision rate of less than 4¢n the areas with higher density. This is because more than 88¨f operators on the isthmus configured their equipment by strictly using the recommended routing paradigm (WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1 or WIDE2-2) #0575 Guide for the correct configuration of WIDE routes in ..., which limited excessive jumps and avoided redundant RF loops between Central American border nations.
Do you want us to extract from the APRS.fi database the distribution graph or number of specific frames of any Central American indication during this last week?
