๐Ÿ”Ž About Meshtastic

Meshtastic is an open-source project that uses LoRa radios to create encrypted, decentralized mesh networks. 
It enables text and data communication without cellular, Wi-Fi, or internet infrastructure.

Meshtastic offers:

  • ๐Ÿ“ก LoRa Mesh communication without Wi-Fi, cellular, or Bluetooth.
  • ๐Ÿ” Encryption for secure channels.
  • ๐ŸŒ Community-driven networks for emergencies, experiments, and exploration.

  Disclaimer:
  Meshtastic configurations and deployment for this workshop are designed around the legal ranges and information published by the Ministry of Communications for LoRaWAN. 
  However, as there has been no updated official guidance specific to LoRa in Israel for several years, 
  the community and Israeli users are working with the best possible configurations within firmware limitations to remain aligned with the current amorphic legality.
  All information shared in this workshopโ€”and within the communityโ€”is publicly available for anyone to research independently. 
  The workshop itself will be ~85% hands-on, and each participant is solely responsible for their own use of Meshtastic.
