A review of Meshtastic, a cheap, encrypted, offgrid communicator using T-Beam devices. The review includes both positive and negative aspects of the project.
Meshtastic is an off-grid mesh network for short messages, but its use is limited by the need for a phone app or web UI. The T-Deck offers a standalone solution, though it has its issues. The article covers the installation and use of the experimental T-Deck UI firmware, its limitations, and community reactions.
An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices.
