Meshtastic is **not** LoRaWAN, nor TTN (TheThingsNetwork). However, Meshtastic does use the same channel maps as LoRaWAN.
Meshtastic is **not** LoRaWAN, nor TTN (TheThingsNetwork). Meshtastic uses the full spectrum frequency range designated to LoRa technology per region. This allows for several hundred possible frequency channels in the US region alone.
