Meshtastic is an open-source project that turns cheap LoRa radios into a decentralized mesh network for sending messages, GPS coordinates, and sensor data—without internet, cell coverage, or infrastructure. Think of it as a private walkie-talkie network that covers 10+ km (depending on terrain and antenna), with automatic message relay through other nodes. Key idea: Every device is both a sender and a relay. If Node A can’t reach Node C directly, Node B automatically forwards the message.
