Commotion Wireless is a free, open-source communication tool that uses wireless devices to create decentralized mesh networks, allowing devices to connect directly to each other without going through a centralized point. Its mesh networks are self-healing and can grow organically, and also allow for easy sharing of services over the network, such as internet and applications. Commotion Wireless provides a way for its users to share their internet connection with the people around them, but it is not a replacement for their internet connection. Its features include creating a simple, easy-to-use communications tool that anyone can set up and use without technical expertise; providing a platform for building community wireless networks and hosting local applications; building a tool for creating infrastructure that is resilient against surveillance and disruption; and developing a flexible, open-source software platform that programmers around the globe can continually adapt and build upon. Commotion Wireless is based in Washington, District of Columbia.
