{wiki=ALOHAnet}
ALOHAnet is an early computer networking system developed in the early 1970s at the University of Hawaii. It was created to facilitate communication among the Hawaiian Islands and was one of the first wireless packet networks. ALOHAnet used radio frequencies to send data packets between nodes, allowing for the timely exchange of information without needing a physical connection. The key innovation of ALOHAnet was its use of a random access protocol for data transmission, known as ALOHA protocol.
