Description
[Meshtastic](https://meshtastic.org/) is an open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices.
It seems like a perfect fit for pinecone. It can work up to very long ranges (kilometers are pretty easy to hit) and already has users for testing and relays. It seems to be similar to a BLE mesh network.
It would be a great demo/PoC to run pinecone on top of Meshtastic

Research direction
Start by reading Pinecone's transport abstractions and the Meshtastic protocol documentation; the issue names no files, entry points, or tests. Determine how a Meshtastic/LoRa transport could carry Pinecone traffic, then define a runnable proof of concept and a test or demo that shows communication over the new transport.
