A small-scale wireless network, generated to be independent of the HyperNet. There are several reasons for users to create a local net. A corporation may want to keep files secure from hackers by not putting them on the greater Net and having to rely on a firewall, but still let authorized personnel wirelessly access the information within the building. Or a ship will generally have an internal network so if they pass outside of HyperNet range, the crew will still have access to ship files and systems.

Individuals wishing to exchange secure information, or cut off from both the HyperNet and their ship can create a network between their companions by linking their NC chips.
