A Datanet (also a Data Network, Communications Network, CommNet, Inter-computer Network, or Internet) is a large scale interconnected communications network. These networks consist of hard wired communication lines, line of sight communication links, and an orbital satellite constellation. Worlds with moderate or high populations and TL–7 or higher always have a some or all of these elements of a network. At TL–9 the network extends to the other populated worlds in the system, including communication satellites in solar orbit to allow continual communications. Some lower populations and low tech worlds also have datanets, though they are not always complete or as functional.
Access to the Datanet requires a communicator tied to the network, a Handcomp, or Cyberdeck depending on the level of access required. Some worlds restrict access to parts or all of their network.
