In this live demo, we put the Spec5 Copilot to the ultimate test by extending the range of our Meshtastic mesh network using a drone-mounted node. Flying at 380 feet, we successfully reached other Meshtastic users up to 25 miles away! 🔥
This is my longest Meshtastic range tests so far — showcasing how the Spec5 Copilot can dramatically boost your off-grid communication capabilities using LoRa technology.
➡️ What you'll see in this video:
• Live field testing of the Spec5 Copilot 📡
• Drone-assisted node deployment 🚁
• Real-time communication with other Meshtastic users up to 25 miles away 📶
• Tips on maximizing your Meshtastic range 🔧
