Open-source hardware and software that allows for Long Range (LoRa) radio communication via text message (and emoji). They can also create a mesh network (hence the name) to extend range and rout encrypted messages through the network.

Useful in the case of cell-network failure (emergency situations, power loss,etc), overloaded bandwidth or simply lack thereof. Or just completely secure communication.
