Reticulum can run over a wide range of hardware and communication mediums.

The Reticulum Network Stack runs on most devices with a Python 3 runtime. For more constrained systems, microReticulum is a C++ port designed for 32-bit MCUs (as well as Linux SBCs).cite-ref-1[1]

Reticulum runs over Ethernet, WiFi, LoRa (with RNode), packet radio modems, serial lines, BLEcite-ref-2[2], and even QRcite-ref-3[3].

RNodes are easily made from readily available development boards. They communicate with a host instance over USB or Bluetooth.

microReticulum's RNode firmware turns RNodes into fully self-contained Reticulum nodes, eliminating the need for a host instance.

ESP32 has more processing power than nRF52.

Reticulum can work over WiFi-based hardware as long as it supports bridged Ethernet over the WiFi interface, which most devices do by default or through configuration. Such radios are suitable for high capacity Reticulum links over long distances.cite-ref-4[4] See also WiFi-based Hardware ↗ in the manual.

Any packet radio modem that provides a standard KISS interface over USB, serial or TCP can be used with Reticulum.cite-ref-5[5]

Modem73 with its Reticulum interface enables any HF/VHF/UHF radio capable of 2400 Hz of bandwidth to operate with Reticulum.cite-ref-6[6]

The SerialInterface enables Reticulum to be used over any kind of raw serial line or any hardware that provides a serial port interface.
