Meshtastic is a decentralized protocol to send long range messages between devices while also using very little power. When a user wants to send a message to the network, they use a technique called LoRa to broadcast their message to their neighbors. Each neighbor then repeats this process until the maximum number of hops is achieved.[1] Because each user is part of the "mesh", it does not require existing existing infrastructure such as cell towers, so it is very useful for emergency scenarios[2] or in remote areas.[3] Users can also setup encrypted channels for better privacy or security.

To join Meshtastic, users will require a LoRa transmitter/receiver chip and a microprocessor to communicate with it, which is easily purchased as a commercially available board such as the HeltecV3 .[4]
