Meshcore is a distributed mesh-network, similar to Meshtastic, but incompatible with it. Some say it is better.

The space has joined the network with a so-called repeater. We are talking with people to install a repeater in the light masts in the old stadium of FC Wageningen, which would put it at a height of ~75m. With that we should be able to see a really big area.
