      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.

      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.
