What the Mesh?!

What happens when the hurricane hits and every cell tower goes dark? For one father working the night shift at a hospital during Hurricane Helene, that was not a hypothetical. It was eleven hours of silence with no way to reach his family. Kenneth and Josh from the Georgia Statewide Mesh Coalition join Dee and Jesse to break down mesh networking, the decentralized communication technology that keeps working when everything else fails. No cell towers. No ISP. No single point of failure. Just a resilient, self-routing network built by the community, for the community. Learn what mesh actually is, how Meshtastic works, and why this technology might be the most important thing you have never set up yet. When the grid goes down, will you still be able to communicate?
