Here in Australia almost everyone has moved (or is moving) to Meshcore - particularly in the more populous eastern states. There is now connectivity from Adelaide, via Melbourne, to Sydney which is some 1500 kilometres / 932 miles.

I'd heard of Meshtastic, but not Meshcore. Knowing almost nothing about either, this was a very interesting video.

Meshcore has absolutely exploded where I live, we've got a VERY strong network that's growing daily. I tried Meshtastic over 4 years ago and had the exact same experience as you, it was just me and NOBODY else.

It’s nice to see someone make a video about CT mesh. It’s grown so fast!

Very cool to see these grassroot networks coming up. Been thinking about these type of things more and more as hurricane season gets worse and worse.

Just pulled the trigger on purchasing some of this equipment. Can’t wait to tinker with this.

I actually saw a video recently that you can make a room server and then make it a repeater also so you can have both.
