After years of experimenting with various LPWAN mesh networking technologies, I’ve unequivocally settled on Reticulum for my serious deployments. It emerged as the clear frontrunner not because it’s simpler than the rudimentary Meshtastic (it isn’t), nor because it’s overtly more feature-rich than the robust MeshCore (though debatable), but because its extremely well-thought-through design philosophy fundamentally aligns with what I’ve come to believe matters most: privacy, resilience, and true decentralisation in the face of an increasingly “enshittified” internet. It strongly supports multiple bearer protocols, making it an ideal candidate for a future decentralised internet.
