-====== Introduction ====== 
-From [[wp>MeshCore |Wikipedia]]: 
- 
-<QUOTE> 
-MeshCore is an open-source mesh networking protocol and software platform designed for off-grid, low-power text communication using LoRa (Long Range) radio technology. The system enables decentralized, multi-hop wireless messaging without reliance on cellular networks or internet infrastructure. 
- 
-Use cases include emergency and disaster communications, outdoor and remote activities, [...] and experimental and educational deployments of low-power mesh networking. 
- 
-[It] is designed to [...] operate in unlicensed [[wp> ISM_radio_band |ISM frequency bands]] such as 868 MHz and 915 MHz, depending on regional regulations.  
-</QUOTE> 
- 
-The idea is that each person has a small //companion// device <key>''C''</key> paired to their cellphone via Bluetooth, and via that device, they can text each other or post public messages using the 915 MHz band, all without a special license.  The signal can travel directly between //companion// devices if they are close enough, or via a series of //repeaters// <key>''R''</key> to extend coverage.
