Long range (LoRa) mesh networks are interesting alternatives to communication, especially when state actors are blocking internet access for various reasons.

Not sure if they’ve improved it but meshtastic also used to require a module per device/phone so sadly you can’t dot them around and allow multiple people to share them like with group events.

The documentation is a little lacking. What exactly is the range of each decide? I see the record of 100+ miles but can I easily connect people within a few miles?

What exactly does this do? Is it just a messaging app?

What up with everyone using the acronym LoRa. It is becoming confusing.

It stands for Long Range, so would otherwise have been LR.

We ran out of acronyms a long time ago.
