'Reticulum Network Stack' is an encryption-complete system that builds a unique network using any wireless device, including packet radio and WiFi.

The Reticulum Network Stack is a system that allows you to build local or wide-area networks by gathering communication-enabled devices. It is characterized by its ability to utilize a wide range of communication devices, including not only Wi-Fi and Ethernet but also LoRa wireless, serial lines, and amateur radio digital modes.

The Reticulum Network Stack allows you to connect devices with different communication standards to build a network. Data is exchanged in encrypted form, allowing communication while maintaining the anonymity of the sender. Documentation for the Reticulum Network Stack can be found at the following link.
