What is Meshtastic??
Meshtastic is an open-source, long-range mesh communication platform that links phones to low-cost LoRa radios for secure, off-grid text and data messaging. It’s ideal for backcountry group comms, community mesh networks, events, and low-power IoT sensor deployments where cellular or Wi-Fi aren’t available.
