## ⚡ Key Features
* Multi-Hop Packet Routing Devices can forward messages across multiple nodes, extending range beyond a single radio's reach. MeshCore supports up to a configurable number of hops to balance network efficiency and prevent excessive traffic.
* Multi-Hop Packet Routing
* Devices can forward messages across multiple nodes, extending range beyond a single radio's reach.
* Supports up to a configurable number of hops to balance network efficiency and prevent excessive traffic.
* Nodes use fixed roles where "Companion" nodes are not repeating messages at all to prevent adverse routing paths from being used.
* Supports LoRa Radios Works with Heltec, RAK Wireless, and other LoRa-based hardware.
* Decentralized & Resilient No central server or internet required; the network is self-healing.
* Low Power Consumption Ideal for battery-powered or solar-powered devices.
