FrogNet: Networking for Humanity.
A new layer of reality for networks and AI.

FrogNet is a portable, self-forming intranet and AI fabric for real environments – farms, river corridors, substations, shelters, and remote communities. It assumes WAN will fail, radios will be ugly, and power will be intermittent – and it keeps working anyway.

Why this exists

The modern Internet was not built for floods, canyons, tractors, and shelters.

Most networking and AI assumes the same things: stable upstream connectivity, cooperative infrastructure, and acceptable latency. FrogNet assumes the opposite. It treats fracture, motion, and ugly RF as normal.

Beyond mesh

Traditional mesh systems were not designed for river corridors, moving equipment, or rapidly changing RF. FrogNet’s discovery and routing are built for clusters that split, move, and rejoin.

Beyond IoT platforms

Most IoT platforms collapse when their vendor cloud disappears. FrogNet keeps services and logic at the edge, where your sensors, actuators, and operators actually live.

Beyond “edge AI”

FrogNet AI Hosts are peers in the network, not just endpoints. They reason over local and shared state via the transient database, and collaborate across FrogNets when links allow.

What it is

A portable, sovereign intranet that moves meaning, not megabytes.

A FrogNet is a cluster of small Linux nodes – Pis, NUCs, industrial PCs – connected by whatever radios and links you have. It discovers itself, forms an intranet, hosts applications and AI, and uses semantic compression to move only what matters.

  • Self-forming intranet: Nodes discover each other, establish routing, and share a floating transient database of current reality.
  • Semantic compression: BullFrog LDC™ reduces web-like requests to tiny semantic packets that can cross brutal RF links.
  • AI Hosts & Knowledge Packs: Local AI bound to real sensors, assets, and geography. These are teammates, not chatbots.
  • Radio-native: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, LoRa, HF/VHF/UHF, LTE, SAT – if Linux can see it, FrogNet can use it.
  • Sovereign by design: No mandatory cloud. You own the hardware, the data, and the behavior.

Scenarios & pilots

From saving lives in floods to saving money in fields and plants.

FrogNet is a general fabric. Sensors and AI change by sector; the underlying capabilities remain the same. The book goes deep; pilots make it real in your world.

Floods, rivers, and early warning

Suspended sensors and AI Hosts watching rising water levels can trigger local alerts even if every WAN link is gone. FrogNet treats the river corridor as its own sovereign network.

Farms & rural infrastructure

Large properties and irrigation districts become regions of cooperating FrogNets: soil sensors, pumps, pivots, and operators sharing a local intranet and AI even when broadband can’t reach.

Substations, plants, and industrial safety

Hazardous environments get a fabric that doesn’t quietly fail when the wrong switch flips or a link drops. Safety, monitoring, and response logic live inside the FrogNet itself.

Pilot & partner opportunities

I’m not looking for mass adoption yet. I’m looking for a small number of serious partners – in emergency management, agriculture, hydrology, utilities, and rural infrastructure – who see what this is and want to help shape how it rolls out into the world.

If you own a real-world problem that looks like this, we can design a pilot that starts from the running FrogNet codebase described in the book and adapts it to your terrain, radios, and constraints.

Get involved

If you see what FrogNet could do in your world, let’s talk.

Whether you’re a potential pilot partner, investor, researcher, or operator, the first step is a conversation about your terrain, your constraints, and what “success” would mean.
