Dotdot is a French revolution in private mesh networks, offering subscription-free WiFi access and reducing the carbon footprint of local communications. Dotdot's self-healing mesh networks can operate in repeater mode to extend a router's Internet access, or in private mode (Off-Grid) for isolated local communication between devices. The Dotdot WiFi network is created by stand-alone pocket repeaters called “#dot's”, which can be paired with a smartphone to create a WiFi network visible up to 100 meters around the user.

A key feature of Dotdot is the anonymous sharing of Gigas of unused mobile Internet access, enabling unused mobile data to be monetized while providing shared access to the Internet. Dotdot's are low-cost WiFi repeaters that mesh without assistance, and enhanced versions are offered for automotive, construction or defense applications on which CivTAK and ATAK-type applications can run. Dotdot recently won an award at the CES Innovation Awards 2025 for its innovative approach to secure, anonymous mobile data sharing.

For your information, as I find the concept appealing, I've just ordered a #Dotdot box for n816 Life to test the concept. I'll be sure to let you know my impressions after a few weeks of real-life use. This French innovation was presented at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, and was discussed by Jérôme Colombain of the podcast “Le Monde Numérique”.
