Guifi.net is a technical-social project of building a free, open, neutral, communal and largely wireless telecommunications network with more than 32,000 active nodes and more than 58,900 km of wireless connections (as of 2017). The vast majority of these nodes are in Catalonia and Valencia (Spain), but it is also growing in other parts of the world. The network is managed by the users themselves and uses both unlicensed wireless connections and those made of fiber optics .

The nodes of the network are contributed by individuals, companies and administrations who freely connect to an open telecommunications network and expand the network where the infrastructure and content are otherwise inaccessible. Nodes join the network on the self-provision model as the entire structure is explicitly open to make it easier to understand the structure so that anyone can create new sections as needed. The result is a shared network infrastructure that offers rich connectivity.

Guifi.net is supported by the Guifi.net foundation, which has been registered as an operator with the Spanish Commission for the Telecommunications Market (CMT) since April 2009. The first deployment of fiber optic began in August 2009, known as Fiber From The Farms (FFTF) Broadband Initiative,

Since the beginning of 2011 guifi.net has been connected to the Catalonia Neutral Internet Exchange Point (CATNIX), [6], which exchanges data with other international telecommunications providers such as Cogent Communications and Hurricane Electric. This Internet connection is used by several associations that offer their members inexpensive Internet access at high speeds [7], which other Internet service providers currently do not offer. The model is based on cost sharing as a compensation mechanism. [8]

The basic functional principle is based on the Wireless Commons License. [9] [10]
