just stumbled upon this, is beechat better than meshtastic? is it open source?

We’re building something wildly different. We’re building radio devices with 10x performance compared to LoRa/Meshtastic. This allows true Internet-like speeds over radio networks rather than just texting.

The reason we’re building this is a couple of years ago we used the supposed “best” radios to in the market to make a communication device and we were really disappointed by the performance. We took a step back and realised many others were having this issue too. Most IoT radios simply do not have the throughput needed for modern applications like live audio/video/file sharing. So we decided to tackle that challenge head on.

WATCH: Last weekend we presented the Beechat Rune device for the very first time, as part of the Volla Community days in Germany. Featuring 4 simultaneous streams, capable of audio and video streams with next-gen CRYSTALS cryptography, the Beechat Rune is a perfect addition to privacy-focused systems.

Announcing Robert Raduta of Beechat Network at The People's Reset: UK!
We are grateful to feature Robert Raduta from the Beechat Network who will be speaking on Saturday under the "Empowering Technology" theme. The Beechat Network is focused on providing tools for decentralised and privacy focused communication tools with the aim to empower individuals to reclaim data sovereignty and establish parallel systems that people can rely on. Beechat's devices could be used as a back-up for emergency situations or as the first step toward a free technological society.

Novel work by our team: an NFC tag system which upon tapping, returns a random number signed by a private key contained in secure storage within the NFC tag and the random number as a parameter in a URL.
What this allows: a server which holds the corresponding public key can verify a user has tapped an NFC tag and it cannot be faked.
Use cases: self-sovereign decentralised payments, proof of attendance without centralised points of failure and more.
Breaking new grounds in cryptography. 🔐

Our soon to release Kaonic radio module's combination of high sensitivity and MR-OFDM modulation provides significant advantages over comparable radios at similar data rates, offering:
- 200-300% increased range over radios like XBee.
- Up to 1.5-2 km in urban environments, improving by roughly 50% over others.
- Better object penetration by 30-50% due to its enhanced link budget and multipath protection.

Today at PMRExpo in Cologne we launched our long awaited new high performance encrypted radio system Kaonic 1S. We demoed file sending, live audio calls, and encrypted messaging.
- cryptographic mesh: Kaonic uses Rust-based Reticulum mesh networking with up to 128 network hops (10X compared to LoRa)
- performance: Kaonic 1S features dual radios for simultaneous operations unlocking new capabilities like live audio/video. Each radio has data rates of up to 2400 kbps and 600 kbps for CE/FCC versions.
- open source software and firmware and modularity: soon to be published on GitHub, all code will be available on MIT License. Kaonic 1S runs Yocto Linux. Featuring expansion ports for FPGA, microphones, speakers, sensors and dual USB-C connectors.
Kaonic is more than a radio module, it’s a full featured radio-based single board computer set to revolutionise decentralised communications.

We've seen some comments going around (*ahem* Memetic Warfare...) complaining about the fact we ported Reticulum Networking Stack (RNS) to Rust.
We chose to port it to Rust instead of C++ due to long term stability and preventing memory safety issues. Only RNS is written in Rust. Our Yocto OS tools, and cross platform drivers are still written in C++.
Rewriting the entire protocol to Rust has been extremely challenging and we will soon be publishing it to GitHub to give back to the RNS community. It also will now be much easier for other developers to port RNS to C++, if you prefer to go that route, since we've brought all functions to the embedded level.
Our port enables developers to port Reticulum to C++. We're also planning on porting RNS to microcontrollers, totally removing the need for an OS. This would allow much smaller and low-power Kaonic versions.
