If I live in one state and my parents live a few states over, would I be able to use this network to communicate with them? Not sure if this is a mesh network for long range routing.

Thanks. What I thought after reading the docs a bit. I'll look at some more options. I'm looking for a solution that doesn't rely on internet or other infrastructure likely to be targeted in an attack. Likely what I'm looking for does not exist or is not built out near me.

HAM radio is about it for long comms that aren't dependent on other systems.

Even then it takes technical skill on both ends to make that work.

Theres also Meshcore. Same devices, smaller user group, but hasany more hops. In theory messages can go further but its.so less adhoc.
