meshtastic:




Meshtastic is a relatively new decentralized low-power meshed network wireless protocol. It doesn't require
a license, and it's only loosely attached to the internet. (mainly for identifying the location of base nodes

For the most part, personal nodes are ultra-portable (smaller than most HT's) and many of them are designed to
be controlled via bluetooth, from something like a smart phone. Although you may be using a phone to compose
and read messages, the phone requires no cellular or wifi connection to communicate via your node.

In addition to being small and battery-powered, the majority of personal nodes cost well under $100, making
meshtastic a very inexpensive / minimal investment hobby to try out.
