# Overview - Mesh Network Communication

## MeshCore

Why MeshCore? When you do something, you should do it right. Mesh communication is exciting, and in my opinion, it is important to have a decentralized off-grid messaging system. I am convinced that the young MeshCore protocol is the better choice for this than Meshtastic. In the future, I will do my best to contribute to the network with new repeaters and hope to inspire others to join in.

Every repeater improves the mesh network!
