'''Wide-Coveragecoverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System''' ('''WIRES''') is a ''de facto'' standard created by [[Yaesu (brand)|Yaesu]] designed to link compatible [[amateur radio]] [[repeater]]s over [[Voice over IP]], allowing any home stations using those repeaters to communicate with each other over VoIP.

WIRES uses [[Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling|DTMF]] signaling to make a connection over the [[Internet]] from a repeater or home station to another WIRES-equipped station that is accessible over the Internet. No proprietary tones or connection formats are used, so any manufacturer's radio (equipped with a DTMF encoding keypad) may be used to bring up the Internet link.

==Internet linking system versions==

* WIRES - began as an experimental Internet linking project in the United States (California), and the initial Beta testing led to the development of an expanded and enhanced protocol with WIRES II.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://echolink.ru/wires-ii/wires-ii-reference-manual-uk.pdf | access-date=2023-10-16|title=WIRES-II - REFERENCE MANUAL}}</ref>

* WIRES II - Yaesu did terminate WIRES-II service on Saturday, September 30, 2017 at 06:00 UTC. They suggested in the future, to use the WIRES-X Internet linking system.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.yaesu.com/jp/en/wiresinfo-en/index.html|title=WIRES-II service termination Notice}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.yaesu-museum.com/wires_ii.html|title = Wires Ii}}</ref>

* WIRES-X - Supports the C4FM digital and the voice technology. It enables high sound quality by repeating C4FM digital data as it is via the Internet.
