👋 from Ash @ St Eval
Stay in touch! - We're still working on building the Meshtastic network here in Cornwall,
if you're having difficulty reaching us on the mesh then feel free to join us on our Discord server:
Or you may prefer to use the Meshtastic Cornwall Facebook Group
or you may also be interested in the Cornwall & Devon Meshcore Facebook Group.
Meshcore is a similar but different type of LoRa Mesh communications.
What is Meshtastic?
Meshtastic is an open-source, decentralized, and off-grid communication platform that utilizes affordable LoRa radios to create a mesh network. It allows you to send messages, GPS coordinates, and other data over long distances without relying on cellular networks or Wi-Fi.
Operating on the 868MHz band here in the UK and Europe, Meshtastic devices form a robust and resilient network, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, emergency preparedness, or simply staying connected in areas with limited traditional infrastructure.
