Sounds like bs. Why would someone pay $50 for almost 10 years old hardware when there are plenty of well-supported and cheaper options like MuziWorks Duo / Ebyte / etc with newer LR1121 or LR2021 which combine both 2.4G and SubG bands in single and modern chip at 1/2 of the cost less? SX1281 and SX1281 are relics.

Nvm, looks like AI scam.

100x of what? As someone not too familiar with LoRa, what is the significance and how this could be used?

Say I start the node and then what?

It's either AI content or people talking about how it's not AI content but the one thing that's for certain - the comments will end up being about AI.

It's clearly AI.

I’m struggling to see the value here. At $50, this seems hard to justify given the availability of cheaper, well-supported options like MuziWorks Duo, Ebyte, and other newer LR1121/LR2021-based designs. Those chips offer both 2.4 GHz and sub-GHz support in a single modern package, often at roughly half the price, which makes the SX1281 feel fairly outdated.

Every day, we get closer to reinventing Ricochet, 27 years later...

What does an Internet communication app that have to do with a mesh radio protocol?

Metricom Ricochet used dual-band radios, operating in 900MHz and 2.4GHz, to form a routable mesh that delivered internet access and other services, in 1999.

Ah, thanks, I didn't find any reference to that from a search (found a messaging app).

They used repeaters on street lights as part of the infrastructure, and even after the company went belly up people were able to use the repeaters for private networks. Pretty slick for the mid 90s.

Ricochet was a mesh internet provider.

This should be a "Show HN:" given it's author submitted and quite promotion heavy.

AFAICT, this just combined two chips on a board. And the 100x bandwidth is due to using a higher frequency chip. Nothing revolutionary.
