Is there any way to make that a permanent tower? How long will they allow you to leave this one up there?
Also, what kind of bandwidth/throughput are users seeing on that mesh through your starlink? Anything faster than emails/texts?
It will stay until it gets taken down. Our guess is someone from the Forest Service is going to remove it. It’s on a marker for the Appalachian Trail at the top of a mountain. No permission was given. We’re just did it to establish communications in an area extremely lacking in communications right now.
Meshtastic works over radio waves. The Starlink was there for:
1. Alternate means of comms in an area with little to no cell coverage.
2. Test its capabilities while moving on foot.
