- Meshtastic is an open-source project for long-range, off-grid communication using inexpensive LoRa radios.
- It creates a decentralized mesh network where radios rebroadcast messages, ensuring coverage for all members.
- Features include encrypted communication, excellent battery life, text messaging, and optional GPS location.
- Radios can pair with a single phone for direct messaging, but each device supports only one user at a time.
- The project is community-driven, with volunteers contributing via GitHub, Discord, and forums.
