They’re a mesh walkie-talkie, but you don’t need to walkie or talkie 😁

Meshnet means that if A can see B and B can see C, then A can message C, it’s routed through B automatically.

Also it’s text only, not enough bandwidth for speech

    So it’s like a pager?

    Kind of. But it is my understanding that pagers work with centralised transmitters/stations. I am no expert though, so maybe there is mesh-like pager protocols.

    This is decentralised, a mesh. Routing is done through the terminals themselves, rather than through a centralised transmitter.
