In this presentation, the speaker will introduce Meshtastic, a low-power, long-range mesh communication system that works without cell service or internet. Aimed at beginners, the session will explain the basics of how Meshtastic uses LoRa radios to send text messages between devices over long distances. The speaker will walk through the essential hardware, how to set up and connect devices using the Meshtastic app, and how messages travel through the mesh network. Real-world examples—such as outdoor adventures, emergency situations, and off-grid communication—will help illustrate practical uses. No prior technical experience is required.
