This device almost certainly doesn't do mesh networking, as the FCC rules for FRS disallow it:
"FRS units are prohibited from transmitting data in store-and-forward packet operation mode."[1, p.11]

Any radio equipment which is compatible with FRS/GMRS will work with PMR446/KDR444/FREENET and the likes which legally "support" mesh networking and repeaters. FFC regulations are pretty much bull in regards to many handheld radio frequencies and pretty much force limitations on communication equipment which doesn't require a fee. If you pay for GMRS license you all of a sudden can have repeaters etc. which you can't with FRS even tho they share a frequency range.
