Mesh networks *

In the previous article, we got acquainted with the Meshtastic project. We learned that it's possible to build your own radio chat based on a Mesh network, a regular smartphone, and a radio modem. The next logical questions people started asking were: What's next? How do I build this network? What should I buy?

The second part will describe several commercial kits for a Meshtastic modem from Aliexpress, their differences, and application features. If for some reason you are not interested in ready-made products, you can build a radio modem yourself. It's not difficult at all and is manageable even for the youngest and most novice radio amateur. Interested? Welcome to the second part under the cut.
