SKYNET is the primary resilient communications and technology program of Resilient Network Puerto Rico, Inc. (RNPR). We develop community-powered communications, technical education, infrastructure, research, and public tools designed to strengthen preparedness across Puerto Rico.
RNPR works to strengthen community resilience through communications infrastructure, education, preparedness, responsible experimentation, partnerships, and public service.
Mission, Story & Programs →We develop resilient communications infrastructure, provide technical education and training, promote innovation and research, and help communities maintain the ability to communicate before, during, and after emergencies.
We envision a Puerto Rico where communities can maintain useful communications capabilities when traditional systems are unavailable, overloaded, or disrupted.
RNPR is an emerging community organization. We are documenting existing SKYNET infrastructure, expanding strategic sites, building partnerships, recruiting volunteers, and developing sustainable organizational practices one site and one community at a time.
