FAQ
Do I need a license?
Follow local laws for your region (e.g., US915). Some uses may be license‑free; others may require an amateur radio license depending on power and purpose.
Range?
From blocks to many miles. Height, antennas, and terrain dominate range. Mesh hops extend reach.
Is this the internet?
No. It’s a local radio network for short messages. Gateways can bridge to the internet, but the mesh works without it.
What devices work?
Popular: LILYGO T‑Echo/T‑Beam/T‑Deck, Heltec V3, RAK WisBlock kits, and similar ESP32+nRF52 platforms with SX1262 radios.
