https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(network_protocol)

> Thread is an IPv6-based, low-power mesh networking technology for Internet of things (IoT) products.

> Often used as a transport for Matter (the combination being known as Matter over Thread), the protocol has seen increased use for connecting low-power and battery-operated smart-home devices.

> Thread uses 6LoWPAN, which, in turn, uses the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless protocol with mesh communication (in the 2.4 GHz spectrum), as do Zigbee and other systems. However, Thread is IP-addressable, with cloud access and AES encryption. A BSD-licensed open-source implementation of Thread called OpenThread is available from and managed by Google.

Thank you, stranger! And all the other sibling comments too. Sometimes, it’s not trivial to search things on my own, when I don’t understand what the result I’m looking for.

Funny thing, I know very little of networking, but this bears more sense than just Thread.
