That escalated quickly...
In my last video, I introduced Reticulum—an open-source protocol that could allow anyone to build networks without relying on traditional internet infrastructure. But there was one big question left unanswered: how far can it actually go?
In this video, I start with a simple setup inside my house and begin pushing the limits—testing communication across rooms, neighborhoods, and beyond using WiFi HaLow and mesh networking. The goal is simple: see if it’s possible to send real messages across distance without depending on ISPs, centralized servers, or the internet as we know it.

In this video, I build a Reticulum RNode and prove that completely different radios — LoRa and Wi-Fi — can communicate through a hardware-agnostic networking stack. Reticulum routes traffic above the radio layer, automatically bridging dissimilar frequencies, interfaces, and modulation types. I then run it over Wi-Fi HaLow Haven nodes to create a long-range, encrypted IP mesh with no traditional infrastructure. Finally, I push it further by running ATAK across the network, demonstrating a fully open-source, decentralized communication stack in action.
