    Commotion Wireless was an open-source wireless mesh network for electronic communication.[1][2] The project was developed by the Open Technology Institute, and development included a $2 million grant from the United States Department of State in 2011 for use as a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), concomitant with the Arab Spring.[3][independent source needed] It was preliminarily deployed in Detroit in late 2012,[1][2] and launched generally in March 2013.[4] The project was called an "Internet in a Suitcase".[5][6]

    Commotion 1.0, the first non-beta release, was launched on December 30, 2013.[7]

    After an initial flurry of attention, the project did not prove sustainable. The code development profiles for the project have not been updated since 2016,[8] and the project's website has been offline since approximately September 2024. [9]

    Commotion relied on several open source projects: OLSR, OpenWrt, OpenBTS, and Serval project.[10]
