Meshtastic
Meshtastic is sweeping across England today.
What is it? https://meshtastic.org/docs/introduction/ The Mesh Network has just started in the USA. Here's the map of some nodes that are web connected.(most are stand-alone) https://meshmap.net/ Why do you need it? In a nutshell, it's back-up communications. In case your Cell service fails, you can still text your family, using Meshtastic Nodes*. (*depending on the local Meshtastic network). I'm the first on my block to start using Meshtastic. How well does it work for me? Not very well, since my area has a shortage of people with Nodes. My walk around range is 2 or 3 miles. But that will change in time. (The outdoor antenna on the right has the Node connected).
