This map shows the density of Meshtastic nodes detected across the region using LoRa radio only, with MQTT disabled. Each marker represents a unique node discovered through over the air communication, with store and forward enabled and neighbor discovery and is configured for a maximum of seven hops. The result highlights how far low power radios can reach when operating purely as a mesh, without relying on any internet backhaul or centralized infrastructure. Even with limited bandwidth, the network spans a wide geographic area, emphasizing the strength of distributed, peer to peer communication over unlicensed spectrum.
