Application
Meshtastic®

As a Meshtastic device, it can establish an open-source, off-grid, decentralized, and free LoRa mesh network for dependable long-range, low-energy communication with other Meshtastic® nodes. Connect it with your phone in just three steps to begin communicating with local nodes via the Meshtastic app, monitor signals, and share locations without the need for any network infrastructure.
Recommended Use Cases

LoRa®
Turn the device into a single-channel gateway by flashing the firmware, allowing it to transmit and receive data from LoRa terminal devices. This solution is especially suitable for applications requiring simple, low-power wireless communication.
