Meshtastic is a network of low power radios that all act as repeaters. These radios then form a ‘mesh’, this mesh allows long range communication that otherwise would not be possible.
Meshtastic utilizes a system called roles, wherein each radio is assigned a function to the mesh. The default role is called client and acts as both a radio and a repeater, this is a common role that can help extend the mesh as well as a tool to access the mesh.
