radio inside of it. I won't bore you with the physics, but the radio technology is called Lora, which stands for long range. It's extremely low power. Meshtastic, Mesh Core, and Reticulum, they all use Lora. The biggest problems with these networks are data rate and reliability. But most of that comes from the fact that these
