If I live in one state and my parents live a few states over, would I be able to use this network to communicate with them? Not sure if this is a mesh network for long range routing.

@gkaklas My take is that for the given constraints (low-power, cheap, low-bandwidth) it works pretty well. If you want a more flexible (but way less beginner-friendly) mesh, have a look at reticulum, that can use all kinds of transport technologies.
Of course! I’m just curious about 1) what are the real world use cases (e.g. my farm example) and 2) how come Meshtastic™®© is so popular with people who experiment with RF but don’t have these constraints; how come that having a couple of points of failure (either in the nodes or the technology) and not being able to experiment outside of LoRa™®© is not more of an issue
(For example I found:)
I was looking into it, seems more like what I have in mind, thank you!
