Shawy Ryan - Ryan Montgomery clip "Have you heard about Meshtastic?" 

Best default: It depends on who is running it. If you want something volunteers can adopt quickly with minimal training, Meshtastic tends to win. The moment you scale beyond a handful of trained operators, the user experience matters as much as RF performance.

When MeshCore wins: If you have a team that will actually maintain the network, a managed relay design can be a big deal. In emergencies, congestion is the silent killer. People spam "test test" and location beacons. A topology that reduces unnecessary relays can keep the network usable longer.

If you're building emergency capability, also think about what happens after the "cool demo." Document your channel settings, labeling, and charging plan. Put it in a binder. Seriously.   from: https://brokensignal.tv/pages/meshcore-vs-meshtastic.html
