BSidesPDX 2025: From walkie-talkies to Meshtastic: an overview on communication platforms

A survey of amateur radio services in USA by   / slavaaa  . The slides are available at: https://bsides-pdx-25.coolconsulting.lol Overview: When traditional infrastructure fails, as it often does in the PNW, we may lose power, water, and even accessible roads. How do you plan to check in with your friends, family, share resources, and help others? In this talk, we’ll cover what options are available for long-distance remote communications between individuals: FRS, GMRS, CB, Amateur Radio, as well as Meshtastic. For the second half of the talk, we'll dive in deeper on Meshtastic: how it compares in terms of capabilities, legality, range, and ease of integration, as well as edge cases. By the end of the presentation, participants will be equipped with actionable knowledge to select affordable communication tools for their needs, ensuring they remain connected when it matters most.
