The layout is similar to Raspberry 4 / Zinthian. Very interesting!

It's obvious it's a RPI with Audio I/O board in a case

They use RPI  wifi to connect to smartphone and then use smartphone 5G to internet

No specs, details, or pricing.

Wonder how it compares to the Elk Live Bridge?  That also has a monthly fee....

I suspect it's a repackaged version of the later

The app and hardware would suggest otherwise....

I've been using JamKazam since the pandemic years and I'm happy with it. Very little complaints. It sounds like RealTime Audio is giving them a run for their money-indirectly. JK early on, coupled proprietary hardware with their setup but eventually shelved it since people have their own routers which only get better and better. With the pandemic spike of users on their network, they ramped up resources with relay servers and reinstating a tiered subscription program. I pay yearly for unlimited jam time. It seemed to make all the difference in the world. I think the secret sauce to low latency however is fiber optic. I'm in northern California and have lower latency with folks in British Columbia and Seattle, compared to folks 50 miles away from me – go figure. There are also some ground rules when playing online, that once understood, can provide a fun experience.

RealTime Audio has the interface add-on for 299 at Sweetwater. Wow, how did they land that deal? I suspect their box compresses the audio before passing it through the UDP port, making it hassle free for the end user to not have to be a tech head except for understanding how to set up some pinhole ports on the router. I can appreciate this.

The wonderful thing about online jamming is, the musical energy is moving through wires over a distance before returning back into the player's head via the headphones.

It's intriguing and maybe worth checking out in the future. Anyone already using it?
