At first glance, the Elecrow ThinkNode M9 looks like a smartphone from an alternate universe where all phones are descended from BlackBerry and Palm Treo devices rather than iPhones and Android phones. But it's not really a phone at all. Instead it's a mobile communication device that lets you send and receive messages using the MeshCore system for off-grid communications. There's no support for making voice calls over cellular networks, but the ThinkNode M9 does have a LoRa module for long-range wireless communications, as well as support for WiFi 4 (802.11n) and Bluetooth 5.0 and GPS.
