I like this but if nobody else has one is it useless?

Any mesh system is as useful as the number of nodes and users. Not aware of any systems at scale

I'm thinking wireless communications texting or similar.

Apple’s AirTag system seems to me like the beginning of a highly proprietary mesh networking system, now if only it was open source and capable of substantial data transmission on most platforms….
