Modular Router Hardware
I'm excited to announce that Supernetworks will be releasing Compute Module based and Pi5 Expansion HAT based access points. The HATs and Compute Modules are expected to be generally available this summer.
The second tenant of Sustainability is Reuse. Companies like Framework have been spearheading the charge towards a better form of computing by building upgradable laptops and soon other devices.
With what the Raspberry Pi Foundation offers people, we are able to bring some of the benefits of modular computing to Access Points as well. Modularity takes ownership one step further, letting people reuse the hardware for other projects, and upgrade it to make it powerful, without any soldering required.
