RNS·LXMF/ 915 MHz/ nRF52840

Purpose-built devices for the Reticulum network, and the firmware that runs them.

Reticulum is a networking stack that runs over LoRa, packet radio, a serial wire, or ordinary IP, with no addresses to assign and no authority to ask. Most of its messaging clients assume a computer or a phone. Thicket is hardware built for it directly, carrying the whole stack on low-power microcontrollers rather than application processors.

The first is a sealed handheld messenger. Others will follow it.

Status

Currently building the firmware. Getting the Reticulum stack and LXMF messaging running standalone on nRF52840 hardware.

Nothing is shipping. No hardware is for sale. The firmware has not yet run on a board.
