This is pretty cool.

"I reverse-engineered a $20,000 military IP mesh radio using just $106.23 in open-source parts. This isn't a gimmick—it's a fully functional MANET router capable of push-to-talk, GPS sharing, ATAK integration, and more. In this video, I’ll show you how I built it, tested it, and deployed it in the real world—no subscriptions, no middlemen, just raw decentralized power. Whether you're off-grid, mission-ready, or just sick of Big Tech, this changes everything."

The advantage to mesh devices is that you don't need separate networking infrastructure. The mesh nodes talk amongst themselves. I guess the equivalent would be VOIP phones that don't need ethernet, routers, switches, etc, with the limitation that the phones can only call other phones in the immediate area.

Sure, and that's an acceptable (and excellent) use case - but the "I made a military radio" claim is BS.

"I made a radio system that works like the military's mesh radios" would be better.
