Meshtastic is an open-source project that provides long-range, off-grid communication using inexpensive LoRa radios. It allows users to send text messages, GPS locations, and voice messages over long distances without relying on internet or mobile networks.
The T-Deck is a compact device with a 2.8-inch IPS LCD touch screen, integrated keyboard, trackball, microphone, and speaker, running on an ESP32-S3 dual-core processor. It supports various frequencies and includes a GPS module and battery in its Plus variant. It features a U.FL/IPEX antenna connector for LoRa and can be flashed using Espressif's firmware download mode.
Bandpass filter for 915 MHz center frequency suitable for LoRa, LoRaWAN, GSM / 3G with SMA-male and SMA-female connectors. Enhances receiver sensitivity, mitigates interference, and aids in frequency planning.

A review of Meshtastic, a cheap, encrypted, offgrid communicator using T-Beam devices. The review includes both positive and negative aspects of the project.
T-Beam Meshtastic is a wireless module with ESP32, LoRa, GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth capabilities. It features a 0.96-inch OLED display and supports various frequency bands including 433/868/915/923Mhz.
Nick Farrow has created MeshBoard, a text-based bulletin board system inspired by the BBSes of the 1970s and 1980s, running on a Raspberry Pi using the Meshtastic mesh network. The project allows for menu navigation and interactive games like Tic Tac Toe and an Escape Room, with no internet required. It leverages Python to create a modular and easily extensible platform, with plans to expand features such as file transfer over the Meshtastic network.
