Meshtastic

Google’s AI Overview

Meshtastic is an open-source, decentralized, off-grid mesh networking protocol that enables low-power, long-range text messaging and data sharing using LoRa radio bands, without needing cellular service, Wi-Fi, or the internet. It uses small, inexpensive, battery-powered radios to form a peer-to-peer mesh network, where each user acts as a node, relaying messages to others, making it ideal for, hiking, emergencies, and remote areas.
