There is also AREDN which is like amateur radio mesh networking, that also plays in 900mhz and 2.4Ghz wifi spectrum: https://www.arednmesh.org/
I think that stuff is also technically unlicensed despite the amateur radio moniker. And I believe it's mostly built by flashing custom firmware onto wifi routers and whatnot.
