It compares OpenMANET with LoRa-based Meshtastic, noting higher bandwidth and features such as push-to-talk, GPS sharing, video streaming, and ATAK integration, alongside higher hardware cost and power consumption. ### Source excerpt OpenMANET is an open-source project for building long-range wireless mesh Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) using Raspberry Pi SBCs and Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah) chips from Morse Micro. This came up when we wrote about Morse Micro USB WiFi HaLow adapters, and an X user commented that "OpenMANET is going to explode with these available, no more adapter boards or M.2 cards". OpenMANET targets search and rescue, disaster response, airsoft events, and other off-grid or infrastructure-failed situations. So it looks like an alternative to LoRa-based Meshtastic and Meshcore, with higher bandwidth, at the cost of more expensive hardware and higher power consumption. OpenMANET supports field communications, including push-to-talk, sharing GPS positions, cameras/video streams, and ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit) integration. The mesh network can access the Internet through a single "mesh gate" over Starlink or cellular connectivity. The project supports a range of hardware platforms including Gateworks Venice, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, [...] The post OpenMANET - A higher-bandwidth Meshtastic alternative leveraging 802.11ah WiFi HaLow appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News. ## Alif Semi Balletto B1 and Ensemble E1C StartKits feature Cortex-M55 + Ethos-U55 MCU for IoT and Edge AI DevFeed: [Alif Semi Balletto B1 and Ensemble E1C StartKits feature Cortex-M55 + Ethos-U55 MCU for IoT and Edge AI]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Debashis Das Published: 2026-09-15T09:00:06Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [CNX Software - Embedded Systems News]() Topics: [Microcontrollers](), [Embedded Systems](), [Microcontroller](), [cpu](), [Internet of things](), [Artificial Intelligence](), [SDK]() Tags: [802-15-4](), [ai](), [alif](), [ble](), [camera](), [core](), [debugger](), [development-board](), [devkit](), [edge](), [edge-ai](), [embedded-systems](), [hardware](), [i2c](), [iot](), [led](), [low-power](), [mcu](), [microcontrollers](), [mikrobus](), [open-source](), [sensor](), [specifications](), [testing](), [zephyr](), [zephyr-os]() ### AI overview Alif Semiconductor's Balletto B1 and Ensemble E1C StartKits are low-cost development boards built around Cortex-M55 microcontrollers with Ethos-U55 NPUs.
