   Hello, well two main diferences:   
   - this uses LoRa among the regular other mediums, package radio, internet, etc   
   etc   
   - It has taken off specially in the hacker community, is the main topic on   
   hacker events and meetups   
     for the last year, lof of people is actually using it because of the long   
   distance   
     up to 300km is the record, like in voluntiers are creating networks all over   
   mayor   
     urban cities and interconecting in diff ways.   
      
   I am not an expert, I started recently, but as you at first I though ok...   
   another wifi mesh   
   but this is different, and the low power and not having to have a HAM license   
   makes it   
   very usable, some hackers are writing a lot of cool software, like MUD games   
   and BBS's   
      
      
   Happy Hacking
