What is Meshtastic?
An introduction to Meshtastic — the open-source, off-grid mesh radio network that works without internet, towers, or subscriptions.
Everything you need to understand how this network works — from the physics of radio waves to setting up your first node on a Scottish hillside.
An introduction to Meshtastic — the open-source, off-grid mesh radio network that works without internet, towers, or subscriptions.
The physics and technology behind LoRa — why it travels so far on so little power, and why it's ideal for Scotland's landscape.
The physics of radio horizons, line-of-sight, and why a node at 25 metres above street level transforms network coverage — and why you don't need a mountaintop to achieve it.
How to get a Meshtastic device, configure it for the Scottish network, and — if you have access to a structure — how to approach deploying a permanent node.
Once you understand how the network works, register your node and contribute to Scotland's mesh.
