Meshtastic uses open source hardware, right? Does that mean it’s possible to build radio receivers by ordering the parts and assembling them yourself, Ikea style? If yes, then how can I go about doing this? I am in Canada if that is relevant

    I believe it’s some kind of digital spread-spectrum protocol that’s able to still function when noise is more than the signal.

    Interesting, thanks for the info

    Did a little searching and there are open standards that do similar things such as Wi-SUN (802.15.4g), and MIoTy (ETSI TS 103 357), and Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah) (though with much less range).

    Would this still work with meshtastic?

      No, someone would have to create a new mesh project. I suppose Reticulum could be used on those, since it’s transport agnostic.
