ciXnet is a group working on independent communications, with Reticulum at the centre of our network.
How we got started
Rural power outages got us looking at other ways to stay connected. The first experiments involved an antenna at home, a truck connection, a laptop and eventually a friend joining the network.
NomadNet pages made that early network useful. A computer at home could answer a page request without someone being there to respond. As more people joined, we worked on the things that made access easier and connections more useful.
Where that led
We developed NomadPL to present information in a familiar form, and the ciXnet client to bring browsing and messaging together. We moved our backbone links to HaLow as everyday traffic increased, while keeping inexpensive LoRa nodes for local access.
This site brings together the projects, configuration guides and accounts of that work.
Development
Our published software is available on GitHub. We use OpenAI Codex for assistance with development, debugging and testing, with human review of the work.
Project enquiries
Depending on scope and availability, we may be able to assist other groups and organisations with planning, rollout and engineering.
