Mesh
Everything the network knows about the Meshtastic and MeshCore mesh radios around Arkansas: how many nodes there are and how many are on the air, who hears them, what they run, what needs attention and where they are. Only what a node publishes in the clear is used. All Nodes · Mesh Map · Mesh Health · Join the Arkansas Mesh

A gateway is a node that uplinks to the broker; the more nodes it hears, the more of the mesh the map can see. What each hears is on the map as measured coverage.
