There are two others that I know of: Meshcore, and reticulum.
In my short time in the scene, I haven’t seen anyone talk about anti-EMP measures they have taken.
Its my understanding (I may be wrong here) that the antenna wouldn’t be able to be exposed during the initial EMP anyways, so you’d need to keep a stash of nodes in a Faraday cage to deploy after an EMP
Are those protocols interoperable? Or are they fighting for individual market dominance?
Sad, but that’s often the case. And yes, you’d need to store a couple of devices in a hell of a faraday cage, in hopes they will survive an EMP detonated above your head. In the end, this is one of the main use cases I can see. If you use those devices today, it is similar to amateur radio: Fun and nerdy, but not needed.
I really like the idea and I want to get into meshtastic, so that I can communicate in case of an emergency.
Two questions:

Most of these devicesbwould definitely gsr damaged or disabled by an emp. The voltage is very small on most of these devices.
Thanks for answering
