I lived in West Africa for years and I wish mesh networking tech was add where it’s at now. I only had a dumb phone when I lived there and even with that it was sometimes hard to get a signal and also it was expensive to send text messages.

Hate to break it to you but mesh networks won’t get a signal in west Africa either.

Yano what will? Satellite networks.

I got a signal using Meshtastic in El Salvador and coordinated a taxi ride with someone in a hotel that was pretty far away.

Shout out to nostr:npub1meatjvk2zunckg2y5e3gcdf35p3glnrmtqr5zywkuku5nm9sudmstwnglh who hooked me and a bunch of other people up with the Meshtastic devices last year

It went through 2 drug dealers xD

I believe Meshtastic can send a message to someone like a 100 miles away without a hop. The person I was communicating with was probably about a mile away.

Really? I thought it was 300 meters per hop

I think it’s 300 kilometers
