The Internet, Reinvented.

A hands-on exploration of Reticulum, a hardware-agnostic networking stack that enables communication across incompatible radio technologies. Unlike Meshtastic, Reticulum operates above the hardware layer, treating LoRa, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and other interfaces as interchangeable. The author builds an RNode from scratch, demonstrates bridging between 915 MHz LoRa and Wi-Fi devices, then installs Reticulum on Haven nodes using Wi-Fi Halo (802.11ah) cards as the transport layer. The most impressive demo runs ATAK (Android Tactical Awareness Kit) over Reticulum, routing cursor-on-target traffic across Halo radios with end-to-end encryption, compression, and fragmentation within Reticulum's 500-byte MTU. All code and build guides are being open-sourced on GitHub.
