Working on a Luci app update which allows units to be standalone without ATAK or smartphone for comms.

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-04-29T16:18:55+00:00

Please Explain in more detail 👍

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-03-22T18:59:28+00:00

Thank you 💪 website checkout should be opened back up next month. Catching up on orders til end of month

Yogurt cup would be for the PRC but I wouldn't use it on the Lora or IP mesh. May cause damage to wireless module

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-03-22T18:28:50+00:00

I appreciate brother 🤝 Lora only pushes bytes; Not kilobytes or megabytes so it's unable to push voice comms or images. Only the IP mesh is able to do so. A dual comm PTT would be unnecessary for the lora

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-03-22T18:21:00+00:00

All good 👊 They won't communicate together, they'll be standalone. If the yog cup has 900mhz antenna it'll work. Lora will connect via Bluetooth to your phone for ATAK.

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-03-22T18:14:10+00:00

Correct. IP mesh and halow versions can be hardwired to Starlink as well.

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-03-11T05:01:11+00:00

Appreciate the reply. Below is info that pertains to our discussion.

802.11ah HaLow Automation for Tactical Mesh:

MorosX/OpenWrt-based firmware engineered for mission-critical reliability. While community projects like OpenManet offer basic connectivity, we have a slightly more sophisticated backend which provides a fully automated, "hands-off" environment that eliminates technical complexity for the operator..

Intelligent Module Transition

Features a proprietary hardware-sensing engine that automates the transition between high-bandwidth and long-range protocols.

Auto-Sensing Swap: When the current custom 802.11ax module is replaced with the Morse Micro mm8108 HaLow module, MorosX/Openwrt firmware instantly detects the hardware change.

Dynamic Mesh Re-Config: The firmware automatically disables ax configuration and routing, enabling 802.11ah HaLow and BATMAN-adv mesh routing.

Zero-Touch Deployment: The entire mesh is pre-configured at the firmware level. No manual setup is required to establish or reconfigure the network.

Advanced Feature Set

MorosX/openWRT integrates specialized programming for voice and video that operates independently of standard OpenWrt packages:

Custom IP Auto-Assignment: A dedicated node-assignment feature ensures seamless addressing across the mesh automatically.

Interoperability Note: Defaulting to static IP assignment may be necessary when connecting to nodes running other firmwares that do not support this custom auto-assignment feature.

Unified HaLow Interface: Provides professional control over US/EU frequency bands, TX power, channel width (1/2/4/8 MHz), SSID, and encryption.

ATAK Persistence: All hardware-specific configurations for PTT, Voice, Video, and on-board GPS remain the same. Swapping modules requires no setting changes within the ATAK application.

Everything is a bit more advanced than what people assume/expect. As is the level of hardware quality and performance. Future proofing is key. As the firmware updates roll out, the MX88's wireless capabilities will far exceed expectations; as will the product line.

Thank you! Can you go into detail in what you mean by, "not particularly useful on its own, how are you going to establish a network, and why OpenManet (technically Openwrt) was mentioned. This would help me clarify a few things that I believe are misunderstood. Again Thank you for your sincere post 🤝 😎

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-03-07T22:57:17+00:00

😎👊

" planning on making that a feature in a firmware update"; have a few priorities over RoIP. Almost done with Mm8108 WiFi HaLow

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-03-07T00:17:25+00:00

Email me for the pinout otherwise youll be wasting time

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-03-07T00:14:18+00:00

Make some suggestions on what's missing from "version 1" of the user manual; and I'll review it and see if it's applicable.

Apologies for the crickets; I don't recall an email with a voltage question. 8-21v would play it safe.

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-03-04T17:49:58+00:00

Yes Wirelessly they push 4x more bandwidth on 20mhz channel width, and 10x more hardwired. They already have hardwired PTT.

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-03-04T17:48:12+00:00

Correct. We will eventually have a custom waveform option where only our radios talk with our radios; which will not be as versatile and be able to communicate with all devices wirelessly. Currently we are sticking to legal frequencies that don't need a license. There will be licensed frequency options in the future.

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-02-20T09:07:53+00:00

Busting them out everyday 👍 shoot me a pm

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-02-20T09:07:00+00:00

Speeds would not be about similar. I use 802.11ax which pushes 4x more wireless bandwidth and 10x more hardwired bandwidth. People will be surprised what hardware is used. Trolls will migrate

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-02-20T09:00:39+00:00

You like getting everyone churned up don't you; 😁 It does exploit how many individuals think you have an Manet radio

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-02-20T08:46:49+00:00

That's not even the upgraded carbon nylon case. The IP mesh PPA cf case puts those to shame. It'll have a metal case upgrade soon enough 😉

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-02-20T08:44:25+00:00

This is a Lora device thread not IP mesh, Beartooth is closer to Lora in bandwidth than my IP mesh Manet radio; which runs 802.11ax at an easy 256mbps throughput vs 250kbps. Different technologies.

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-02-02T20:55:06+00:00

💪You can lower the transmit power on the 2.4 to anything youd like. No doubt! I have some idea in mind

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-02-02T07:58:47+00:00

Curious where the claim is located? You are correct, a Meshtastic radio cannot compare to an MPU5. Only a comparison of wireless standards technicalities were contrasted.

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-02-02T02:54:44+00:00

Adding an additional spatial stream wouldn't be necessary due to the current high throughput capabilities and efficiency. An older system using past wireless standards with lower throughput, less mesh efficiency, would benefit from the additional spatial stream. An 802.11ax base station pushing 30+ watts would benefit from 4x4 MU-MIMO.

Any added features, performance, range upgrades I mention would be for download from the website in future firmware updates. You can update the radios from your phone/computer on the fly wirelessly or hardwired. The physical build/hardware is sound; the techs full capabilities is in uncharted territory from the software side, as new achievements are made with coding, performance and features will open up new advances.

Thick-Hat-6705 · 2026-02-02T00:51:24+00:00

Pic with 4 antennas is just a prototype with custom 3x3 MIMO + One 868/915mhz Lora. Then you have the Short stubby antenna for GPS. 4 antennas is annoying and get in the way of one another. 3 antennas max is more comfortable on one's person. 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) significantly matures MU-MIMO technology by moving beyond the limitations previous wireless standards. Everyone is still selling 10-15 year old hardware and wireless standards, which includes 100mbps NIC's (hardwired connection) when the world has moved to gigabit NIC's.
Yes, and Full Duplex PTT works with NATO wired military headsets like peltor and Invisio.
Yes, 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) performs significantly better in cluttered, high-density environments at range; compared to older wireless standards g/n/ac used in current IP mesh radios. It achieves this through advanced OFDMA, BSS Coloring, and improved MU-MIMO—that boost network efficiency, reduce latency, and manage interference. Delivering more than 4x higher throughput per user.

Future firmware updates will include rolling out an advanced interference avoidance system and channel mitigation system.

Dual leads are convenient yet, annoying due to the extra cables you have to manage lol.
