: Sending a message or data from one device to all other devices within range in the Meshtastic network, rather than to a specific recipient.
Channel
: At least two definitions in Meshtastic usage: 1) One of 8 configurable channels in firmware, each supporting a separate name and encryption, with one set as primary and the rest secondary. 2) A specific range of frequency within a LoRa band that a device can be configured to use.

Message
: A piece of data or text sent between Meshtastic devices over the mesh network, which can include text communications, GPS location updates, and other small data payloads.
Mhz
: Megahertz, a unit of frequency equal to one million hertz, used to specify the operating frequency of LoRa devices in the Meshtastic network, affecting range and data rate.
MHz
: Megahertz, a unit of frequency equal to one million hertz (cycles per second), used to specify the operating frequency of LoRa devices in the Meshtastic network, affecting range and data rate.
Module
: A component or add-on for a Meshtastic device, typically referring to a hardware piece such as a LoRa radio module, that provides specific functionalities like communication or GPS tracking.
: At least two definitions in Meshtastic usage: 1) A software plug-in to expand the capabilities of a Meshtastic device. 2) A hardware component or add-on for a Meshtastic device, such as a temperature sensor or GPS.
MQTT
: A lightweight messaging protocol designed for small sensors and mobile devices, enabling efficient data transmission in the Meshtastic network for Internet connectivity and integration with IoT platforms. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQTT. In Meshtastic, MQTT is used to connect a node to the internet, and can be used to connect multiple meshes to each other.

Node
: A unit within the Meshtastic network that can send, receive, and relay messages, helping to form and extend the mesh network's coverage.
NRF52
: A chipset of microcontroller made by Nordic, used by a number of devices. Lower power usage than ESP32.
: A microcontroller chipset made by Nordic, used by a number of devices used by several devices such as the RAK Meshtastic Starter Kit and the Lilygo T-Echo. Lower power usage than ESP32.
Packet
: A formatted unit of data sent over the network. In Meshtastic, packets carry messages, GPS locations, and other information through the LoRa mesh network.

SWR
: Standing Wave Ratio, a measure of the efficiency of the radio frequency (RF) power transmission from a transmitter through a transmission line to an antenna in Meshtastic devices. It indicates the ratio of the amplitude of a standing wave at maximum to the amplitude at minimum, with an ideal SWR close to 1:1, signifying that most of the power is transmitted to the antenna with minimal reflections.
