In today's interconnected world, Wi-Fi (40% market share), Bluetooth (25%), and Zigbee (65-70% in mesh networks) dominate IoT connectivity, while Thread (28%) and Matter emerge as future standards. Each protocol suits different needs: Wi-Fi for speed, BLE for low power, Zigbee/Thread for mesh networks, LoRa for long range, and cellular for global coverage. Choose based on bandwidth, power, and range requirements.

Are you tired of toggling between windows, squinting at a single screen, or feeling constrained by limited display space? The Elecrow CrowView Yoga is here to revolutionize the way you work, play, and create. With dual 15.6" Full HD IPS displays, this powerhouse of a portable screen brings double the productivity, immersive visuals, and unmatched flexibility to your setup.

Ever wished you could text your friends without cell service or Wi-Fi? Meshtastic devices make it possible! It's an open-source, off-grid communication system that uses LoRa transceiver technology to send messages, GPS locations, and sensor data over miles—without relying on traditional networks. By creating a peer-to-peer mesh network, Meshtastic devices automatically relay messages between each other, extending the range as more users join. Whether you're hiking, prepping, or in an emergency, Meshtastic devices keep you connected when phones fail. Now, meet the ThinkNode M1 and M2—two powerful Meshtastic devices built for adventure, survival, and smart communication solutions.

Modular IoT design integrates heterogeneous computing (ESP32-S3 dual-core) with AI accelerators, enabling cross-protocol smart hubs and agricultural edge nodes via plug-and-play LoRa/Wi-Fi modules.
