See also Meshtastic for greater capabilities but same off grid approach. Additionally, if this isn’t a LoRa radio underneath I’ll be stunned.

- ellisd 2y agoTotally agree on Meshtastic being an superset of this product's features. Although LoRA radios come in 2.4 Ghz variants which makes sense for a global product launch vs. needing to have multiple SKUs for each region, I'm leaning towards Totem Lab optimizing BOM cost and taking a simpler route with just an ESP32. ESP-NOW mesh protocol [1] seems to be around the 1000m range statements that are mention in their mesh blog post [2]. > The Unity Mesh Network™ is layered on top of a peer-to-peer connectionless communication protocol. This peer-to-peer protocol allows any two Totem Compasses to track each other at a range of up to 1000 meters.
