I would use Reticulum instead of Meshtastic. https://reticulum.network https://reticulum.network
Pros:
- it can actually scale past 20 devices
- Forward secrecy encryption
- Is designed to support multiple underlying transport systems such as TCP or LoRa
- Announce based routing rather than flooding the entire network which is order of magnitudes faster
Cons:
- Not as many nodes as Meshtastic has
- Python implementation with no C implementation (can be speed up with cython however)
- stevenAthompson 1y agoIs it legal in the USA? I seem to recall that ham operators aren't allowed to encrypt their traffic, that's one reason I never got around to getting licensed. Maybe LoRs allows for it because it's unlicensed?
- stevenAthompson 1y agoIgnore me, I answered my own question. Encryption is still illegal on HAM bands, but legal for things like LoRa that are unlicensed (hence WiFi).
