  • That is defiantly a meshtastic node.

    It may help responders who have been trained on the device & app’s, have the app’s already downloaded and configured and have a reliable way to recharge both the devices and cell phones.

    If they are trying to get more people to install fixed stations and learn how to use them then more power to them.

    Though I think that they may have a easier time getting people to start installing PRS radios in vehicles, homes, heavy machinery and getting handheld units.

    It is a lot simpler and cheaper to get a PRS radio installed & provided with reliable power and 90% of people can use them without training.








  • The hardware isn’t so much of a problem as there are companies who can make or source compatible tablets like the PineTab2 and the PineNote.

    It’s making the software compatible with a lower power mobile device and learning what needs to fixed.

    It would have been much easier to deal with getting a tablet up and running before dealing with getting a mobile device functional.

    Making the small steps from laptop to tablet then to phone would have saved them a lot of grief and software mistakes.
