Have you tried Meshcore? I started with meshtastic, but found better coverage with core.
Isn't meshcore private?
Some parts are proprietary, yes.
Anyone can flash a companion or repeater, but I'm just learning that some of the code is closed source.
Made some research on it a year ago and decided it's not worth it for me. Not fully open source and requires more well placed infra to work well. Also its main pro - the ability to do a lot of hops over well placed nodes - is now possible with Meshtastic using zero-hop cost routers. This means if you have equivalently well placed routers running Meshtastic, you can configure the whole chain/group to count as a single hop, no matter how many nodes a packet jumps.
There's some folks runnign Meshcore in Toronto tho. That said there's a lot more Meshtastic. My balcony node knows over 200 nodes, all active within 7 days, and I'm nowhere central.
Thanks. Yeah there are quite a few of us. Map.meshcore.io
I was not aware of the open source piece, thanks.
edit: spelling.
