Repeaters Wanted!
Help strengthen the MeshCore network by placing a repeater
Why repeaters are important
The MeshCore network works by forwarding messages from device to device. The more devices, the stronger and more reliable the network. Repeaters are fixed points that run continuously, strengthening the network for everyone nearby.
Benefits of placing a repeater
Help your neighborhood
Your neighbors can communicate during emergencies when normal networks fail.
Strengthen the network
Every repeater makes the network more robust and increases range for everyone.
