Meshtastic - An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices
Long range (LoRa) mesh networks are interesting alternatives to communication, especially when state actors are blocking internet access for various reasons.
When talking about LoRa, I always think about the wireless protocol/chip... Its been around for a long time (specially when capitalized like that) .... What other Lora are you talking about?
Not sure why you decided to ask that person the question like that, but when it comes to AI, LoRA stands for Low-Rank Adaptation. They are used to fine-tune models. Next time be a bit more polite.
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?
I've done my little stupid tests. I have 2 Heltec LoRa 32 V3s both with the stock antenna. Inside the city I can get 500m on LongFast and 700m on VeryLongSlow. The other node was placed inside a building on the 1st floor.
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.
