<p>Yeah, uses the LoRa wireless communication. Kinda like WiFi, but
much further range, though much slower data rate. People have
pushed the link range up to 200 miles in very special cases.
MeshCore utilizes strong encryption for messages. Meshtastic is
apparently very simple to set up, though not as resilient as
MeshCore. Farmers have used LoRa for weather stations and
irrigation systems for years. Very VERY low power, very very long
range. People put these things in trees and have that act as a hub
to push another 20-30 miles out.</p>

have experience with either Meshtastic or MeshCore? Seems
kinda cool. Getting a ThinkNode M1 and gonna explore how it
works connecting to my Linux laptop.<br>
