https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_Radio_Van
The Packet Radio Van was a van refitted by Don Cone at SRI International, and equipped with technology that was used in the first two-way internetworked transmission on August 27, 1976, and the first three-way internetworked transmission on November 22, 1977; the latter of which is considered the start of the Internet.

Norman Abramson Builds the First Packet-Switched Wireless Data Network 1970
In 1970 American engineer and computer scientist Norman Abramson at the
University of Hawaii built ALOHAnet, the first wireless packet-switched data
network, using packet radio.
Unlike the ARPANET where each node could talk to a node on the other end, ALOHA
used a shared medium for transmission and revealed the need for contention
management schemes. ALOHA's situation was similar to issues that were later
faced by Ethernet (non-switched) and Wi-Fi networks.
