alt Hacker NewsThe "100x bandwidth" claim needs to be substantiated.
There are some significant regulatory issues with the current popular mesh network protocols in the USA, namely that neither MeshCore or Meshtastic are compliant with the actual FCC regulations. 100x bandwidth because you're breaking the rules isn't the same as 100x bandwidth legally.
Here is the issue discussing this in the MeshCore repository: https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore/issues/945

That's just "using lora in the same band as WiFi and Bluetooth" no?

The issue you linked to is about MeshCore using channels that are too narrow. A mesh system claiming to offer 100x bandwidth is probably not violating regulations in that particular way.
