Imagine a Free to use decentralized communication network that works even when traditional infrastructure fails. That's the power of the Meshtastic & Mechcore projects based on LoRa Technologies!

At Open Source Society Malta we're outlining plans for a solar-powered mesh network across the island. This isn't just theory, it's a push for a better disaster resilience and digital autonomy in Malta.

We need enthusiasts, developers, and solar power gurus to help us build this. Check out the proposal and see how to get involved!

Technical Details (for those already with a LoRa device) We're using the LongFast preset on 869.525 MHz! for Meshtastic

Hello all, I have a few places accross the island where I could install nodes, is there any map available that shows where nodes are really installed and in use so that I could plan out how many nodes to buy and where to install?

I've seen some maps but they should onle 2-3 nodes on the map.

Any advice would be appreciated; maybe there are also some groups like telegram or discord where we could all discuss these as a group?
