Fawcett Innovations, LLC FrogNet: The Private Internet

FrogNet is the Private Internet.
Privacy by architecture. Resilience by design.

FrogNet is a portable, self-forming Private Internet 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 public Internet was not built to preserve privacy or survive failure.

The public Internet must expose routing and traffic “envelope” information to function globally. That means metadata is observable by design. FrogNet solves this by operating as a membership-based Private Internet with local authority and controlled interoperability.

Private by architecture

FrogNet avoids public exposure by design. It is not “privacy policy on top of the Internet.” It is a Private Internet you own.

Resilient under churn

FrogNet expects splits, merges, intermittent links, and ugly RF. Convergence is bounded and deterministic, not thrashy or broadcast-driven.

Local-first services and AI

Services and intelligence live at the edge, where your operators and sensors actually are — not in a distant cloud dependency chain.

What it is

A Private Internet that runs on commodity hardware.

A FrogNet is a cluster of small Linux nodes — Pis, NUCs, industrial PCs — connected by whatever links you have. It discovers itself, forms a Private Internet, hosts applications and AI, and propagates changes in a controlled, low-bandwidth way.

  • Self-forming Private Internet: nodes discover peers, establish valid routes, and converge deterministically.
  • Controlled propagation: minimal deduplicated signals trigger re-evaluation without broadcast storms.
  • Local authority: naming and service discovery remain available even when upstream dependencies disappear.
  • Transport-agnostic: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and radio-class links — if Linux can see it, FrogNet can use it.
  • Optional interoperability: controlled egress when it exists; local-first operation when it doesn’t.

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 Private Internet capabilities remain the same. Pilots make it real in your world.

Floods, rivers, and early warning

Sensors and AI Hosts can trigger local alerts even if every WAN link is gone. FrogNet treats the corridor as its own Private Internet.

Farms & rural infrastructure

Large properties become regions of cooperating FrogNets: sensors, pumps, pivots, and operators sharing a local-first Private Internet.

Substations, plants, and industrial safety

A fabric that doesn’t quietly fail when links drop. Monitoring and response logic live inside the Private Internet itself.

Pilot & partner opportunities

I’m looking for a small number of serious partners who want to deploy Private Internets in the real world and measure results.

If you own a real-world problem with bad WAN, ugly RF, and high consequences, we can design a pilot that starts from the running FrogNet codebase and adapts it to your terrain and constraints.

Talk about a pilot

Get involved

If you want a Private Internet, let’s talk.

Whether you’re a pilot partner, operator, or investor, the first step is a conversation about your environment, your constraints, and what success looks like.
