Sideband provides many useful and interesting functions, such as:
- Secure and self-sovereign messaging using the LXMF protocol over Reticulum.
- Image and file transfers over all supported mediums.
- Audio messages that work even over LoRa and radio links, thanks to [Codec2](https://github.com/drowe67/codec2/) and [Opus](https://github.com/xiph/opus) encoding.
- Secure and direct P2P telemetry and location sharing. No third parties or servers ever have your data.
- Situation display on both online and locally stored offline maps.

- Using Android devices as impromptu Reticulum routers (*Transport Instances*), for setting up or extending networks easily.
- Remote command execution and response engine, with built-in commands, such as `ping`, `signal` reports and `echo`.
- Remote telemetry querying, with strong, secure and cryptographically robust authentication and control.
- Plugin system that allows you to easily create your own commands, services and telemetry sources.

Sideband is fully compatible with other LXMF clients, such as [MeshChat](https://github.com/liamcottle/reticulum-meshchat), and [Nomad Network](https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet). The Nomad Network client also allows you to easily host Propagation Nodes for your LXMF network, and more.
