From the image in this article [1], that’s more like repeaters on steroids. I don’t see mesh routing at all.

I also would’ve liked a mandatory dedicated backhaul radio, that would work in a incompatible mode from regular Wi-Fi communication, with proper mesh routing, including multi-path link aggregation and whatnot.

Yes, I thought mesh was something different than a way to spread repeaters in a building. Anyway, this is cool, but if you're looking for advances in mesh networks you should try https://altheamesh.com/.
