Hello, well two main diferences:
- this uses LoRa among the regular other mediums, package radio, internet, etc etc 
- It has taken off specially in the hacker community, is the main topic on hacker events and meetups 
  for the last year, lof of people is actually using it because of the long distance
  up to 300km is the record, like in voluntiers are creating networks all over mayor
  urban cities and interconecting in diff ways. 

I am not an expert, I started recently, but as you at first I though ok... another wifi mesh 
but this is different, and the low power and not having to have a HAM license makes it 
very usable, some hackers are writing a lot of cool software, like MUD games and BBS's 


Happy Hacking
