Its a low powered long range radio that runs meshtastic firmware!
It allows people to share text-based communications without needing the internet or cell towers, think of it like walkie-talkies that can talk to multiple people at once and automatically relay messages from one radio to another, creating a mesh network.
You’re not too out of the loop, if you’re on Lemmy!
wait, so this is basically a text machine/pager that allows other users to band together and uses each device as another relay? cuz that’s fuckin rad and the nerdiest thing i’ve ever heard at the same time
