What is Project LoRa / Meshtastic?

Project LoRa is UKSN’s community initiative to build a secure, offline communication network using LoRa technology. LoRa (Long Range) allows devices to communicate over several miles without relying on Wi-Fi or mobile networks.

Meshtastic is the software that makes this communication possible. It creates a network, meaning every node can relay messages from others, extending the range and reliability of communication. Together, Project LoRa and Meshtastic give UKSN members a resilient, offline messaging system - perfect for outdoor adventures, emergency situations, or anywhere connectivity is limited.

In short: Project LoRa + Meshtastic = reliable, long-range, offline communication for the UKSN community.
