'''Wide-coverage 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 [[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.
