Sorry, the article is more of a broad overall comparison, and I wanted to help others who are new to LoRa tech a well. Might help explain why each are beneficial.
For those currently running a repeater or device, or even experience with several nodes, which do you run? What brand? Any recommendations or suggestions?
I plan on using both but worried signals might be crossed or interfere since their frequencies are so similar. MC for at home and MT for on-the-go or shtf and we all need to meet up, etc.
I live in a densely populated area, so meshcore. Meshtastic self jams when there’s too many nodes.
Makes sense. I’m outside the dense area, and looking at the meshcore map there’s 2 repeaters a few miles in either direction so it’d be nice to expand the network
But meshtastic would still be beneficial too for family nearby
Reticulum it is for me :)
This sounds stupid, but it talks about privacy and flexibility of various connections, but if you integrated over internet or WiFi, wouldn’t the packet conversion setup be problematic including metadata for its destination? How else unless you had some sort of converting device at the receiving end, which then has IP address and other potentially identifiable into attached, even if there message is encrypted.
What real benefit does RNode have over Meshtastic or Meshcore?
Just seems like a “too good to be true” type deal.
Meshtastic as Meshcore isn’t fully foss
