WavKong V2700 long range WiFi router

Installing a multi-node mesh network is one way to extend the range of your WiFi network, but the Wavkong V2700 Wi-Fi 6 router is said to remove that need, with the ability to provide 15,000 sq ft (about 1400 m2) of coverage from a single device. WavKong claims it’s possible thanks to the company’s Radio Processing Unit (RPU), a dedicated digital RF processing chip that continuously corrects signal distortion in real time using base-station-class Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) technology found in cellular infrastructure and satellite systems. WavKong V2700 specifications: SoC – MediaTek Filogic 820 (MT7981) dual-core Cortex-A53 processor @ 1.3 GHz System Memory – 256 MB RAM Storage – 128 MB flash Networking 4x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports (1x WAN, 3x LAN) IEEE 802.11a/n/ac/ax WiFi 6 @ 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz; AX3000 router Channel bandwidth –  20/40/80/160 MHz WiFi security – WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2, WPA3 Antennas – 2x 2.4 GHz […]

Loona Deskmate – An iPhone-powered AI desktop companion that doubles as a 165W GaN charging station (Crowdfunding)

LOONA DeskMate An iPhone Powered AI Desk Robot

Loona Deskmate is a screen-aware AI desktop companion for iPhone designed to act as a hands-free co-worker that understands your workflow, responds conversationally, and executes tasks directly across your apps. Instead of packing an expensive internal SoC and display into the robot, the Deskmate relies on a docked iPhone to act as its “brain” and face, while the base serves as a 165W GaN desktop charging station. It features real-time voice interaction (~0.5s response time), screen awareness, and a 3-DOF motorized head for lifelike motion and responsive behavior. The system relies on a smartphone (iPhone 12+) for computing and uses its camera and sensors for visual and contextual input. The base integrates a 165W GaN power hub with multiple ports (3× USB-C + 1× USB-A), allowing it to function as a desk charging station. Overall, the hardware combines a robotic form factor with a practical docking and power solution designed […]

WiQwiic-32 – A compact USB-C IoT board with eight Qwiic connectors (Crowdfunding)

WiQwiic-32 USB-C development board

Hack The Board’s WiQwiic-32 is a small USB-C IoT development board based on an ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module, and equipped with a 1.14-inch LCD and eight Qwiic ports for easy prototyping with compatible modules. It also features a microphone and a buzzer for audio interaction, four buttons, two RGB LEDs, and a power LED.  There aren’t any through-holes for GPIO pins, so expansion is only possible through the Qwiic connectors, although you can always add a Qwiic to header converter module if you ever need breadboard-compatible GPIO headers. WiQwiic-32 specifications: Wireless Module – ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 SoC – Espressif Systems ESP32-S3 CPU – Dual-core Tensilica LX7 up to 240 MHz with vector extension for AI/ML workloads RAM – 512KB SRAM Storage – TBD Wireless – WiFi 4 and Bluetooth LE 5 Antenna – PCB antenna Display – 1.14-inch TFT display Audio On-board buzzer Built-in microphone for voice and sound detection USB […]

AWOL Vision Aetherion – A 4K ultra short throw RGB laser projector with VRR and 3300 ISO lumens (Crowdfunding)

AWOL Vision Aetherion 4K short throw projector

The AWOL Vision Aetherion is a new Ultra Short Throw (UST) 4K Android TV 14 projector built around the MediaTek MT9655 TV SoC. Additionally, the projector includes 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and 2.5GbE networking for high-bitrate local media streaming. The projector is available in two variants, Aetherion Pro and Max, with the main difference being brightness. Other than that, it features a 6000:1 native contrast ratio, up to 3300 ISO lumens (for the Max model) of brightness, and covers 110% of the Rec. 2020 color gamut. It uses a triple RGB laser light with PixelLock optics for edge-to-edge sharpness on screens from 80 to 200 inches. Gaming features include Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), MEMC for smoother motion, Anti-RBE technology for reduced rainbow artifacts, and dynamic tone mapping for HDR content.

60W Pocket Cloud is a microSD card reader with USB PD passthrough for your smartphone (Crowdfunding)

60W Pocket Cloud

60W Pocket Cloud is a microSD card reader with 60W USB PD passthrough for your smartphone that works with Android (USB-C) and iOS (USB-C or Lightning) mobile devices, as well as other hosts with a spare USB port. Once upon a time, smartphone manufacturers would include a microSD card socket in their devices, but those have now become harder to find. If your device’s spare storage is getting dangerously low, you’d need to either purchase cloud storage or connect a microSD card reader to the USB-C port of your phone. The latter works, except you can’t charge your phone when it’s connected. Conner’s 60W Pocket Cloud brings back microSD card storage support to mobile devices, while still allowing USD PD charging during use. 60W Pocket Cloud specifications: Chipset – Vinpower iVP309 flash controller chip with 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), SD 3.0 UHS-I, SDCX SD card interface, USB […]

Open Stack standalone 4G LTE IoT board runs RTOS on Quectel EC200U LTE module (Crowdfunding)

Open Stack — Standalone 4G LTE IoT & Connectivity Module

Open Stack is a standalone 4G LTE IoT connectivity board designed to run RTOS-based C applications directly on the Quectel EC200U series LTE module, meaning you don’t need an external MCU like Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi. By removing the MCU, the board reduces power consumption, bill-of-materials (BOM) cost, and physical footprint. The board supports multi-band LTE with GSM fallback, GNSS, and Bluetooth 4.2, as well as IPv4/IPv6 client and server modes. It also includes a USB Type-C port, a Nano SIM card slot, LTE/GNSS/BLE antenna connectors, an OLED information display, status LEDs, control buttons, and a 40-pin Raspberry Pi HAT-compatible GPIO header. Networking support includes TCP/UDP, SSL/TLS, HTTP/HTTPS, MQTT, LwM2M, CoAP, FTP/FTPS, and PPP, making it suitable for asset tracking, industrial monitoring, BLE-to-LTE gateways, remote infrastructure, and always-connected IoT deployments without additional controller hardware. Open Stack specifications: Cellular Module – Quectel EC200U-CN series (EC200UCNAA-N05-SGNSA) module Cellular Connectivity: LTE FDD […]
