> Sidewalk, which is somewhat akin to a mesh network that, with the right amount of access points, could easily cover a whole neighborhood, is now getting closer to launch

Nah, it's just a bunch of access points all wired to the internet, so all nodes are essentially 2 steps away from each other (node -> internet -> node) akin to a star topology.
