A while back I saw a post about a kind of alternative to the internet?

It used some sort (what looked like) a radio system to create a network with other people who had this equipment.

There were a number of companies selling this equipment.

Trying to remember what it was. Does anybody know what I’m talking about?

    I was really excited for CJDNS (not to be confused with “Domain Name System”) at one time. It’s a mesh networking protocol. And they’d established an “Internet 2” (as in, a sequel to “The Internet”) based on the CJDNS protocol called “Hyperborea.”

    I haven’t heard anything about CJDNS in a good while now. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other efforts looking to do something roughly the same, but I’m not up to date on anything more recent.
