Hello,
A friend of mine recently talked to me about "meshtastic", and some youtube video he watched, mainly in UK.
I just had the time to look at this a few minutes before, this means that i know nothing on the topic except what my friend told me during 5 to 10 minutes - in fact, i didn't even know how to write it correctly, but after a few tries on google i found the right spelling.
So this first post is just to introduce it the topic, as i have no experience on it.
It's one more topic for which i would like to be in measure to multiply myself, but unfortunately i can't (yet ?) bilocate (reference to last session
)
All i can summarize is that such initiative does not (certainly) much please the PTB.
I suppose one can find all the information he needs on the following website :
meshtastic.org
Short definition :
An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices
Longer definition :
Meshtastic® is a project that enables you to use inexpensive LoRa radios as a long range off-grid communication platform in areas without existing or reliable communications infrastructure. This project is 100% community driven and open source!
(you can find this definition + more information on the website, the Introduction page and others)
I can't say now how efficient it would do/work, maybe @Scottie would like to have a look a it. I wonder if it would allow anyone for instance at LeChateau to use their own smartphone but all the calls are done using the meshtastic network. What i undestood is that, a bit like the other post about Yaci, the more it would spread (here more physicially on a delimited territory), the larger the area under which one could contact another one using this parrallel network will increase. There are already quite a lot video on youtube when one search on it.
That's all so far, mission one (introduce the topic) completed![Smile :-) :-)](/forum/styles/cass/smilies/smiley.gif)
Now, if some techies here have the time to dig into and report here their experience, tests, etc ... at least, we have now a thread dedicated to this, keyword being "Meshtastic"
