About this episode

The episode compares four different communication services: Meshtastic, Meshcore, Reticulum, and ATAK.

Today I compare Meshtastic, Meshcore, Reticulum and ATAK in a high overview of each service. These 4 are not in direct competition with one another, and they can often work together.
