    So why use this over something like meshstatic?

      More powerful, meshtastic is only allowed to use part 97 power, which is 0.1 watts, where this thing, since it’s licensed, uses one watt of power. The nodes don’t need to be nearly as close in this case.

        Not quite. To use this you need to have a license still, otherwise you are stuck with low power as well.

        Meshtastic can also increase power if you are licensed.

          Oh yeah, I knew that you needed a license for this one obviously, but I did not know a mesh testic device could do that high of power. I did not know it was capable of doing so.

            Yeah, I love the meshtastic idea, and just did some reading on it.

            You can put license = true and it will allow full power

      More radio spectrum. Voice and data capability. Licensed HAM nerd shit. Meshtastic is relatively a narrow unlicensed spectrum with bandwidth limitations. It’s about tinkering just like Meshtastic is but with a license.
