| − | In order to avoid requiring amateur radio operator licenses and other legal hurdles, Meshtastic operates at a low power level, and on unlicensed bands. In the US, Meshtastic uses the 195Mhz ISM band, at up to 1 watt. However, in European countries, it uses their local equivalent (from a regulatory perspective), of 443MHz, 868MHz, and 866MHz. Also, the European Union limits transmission power to a much lower level, typically 150mW.<ref>https://meshtastic.org/docs/overview/radio-settings/</ref> | + | In order to avoid requiring amateur radio operator licenses and other legal hurdles, Meshtastic operates at a low power level, and on unlicensed bands.
