Build a Mesh Network Beacon for Your Music Festival Totem for Around $50

A totem is practically necessary With a large group of family and friend at EDC, not to mention the show off your clan pride. With your totem high up in the air, it's much easier for your loved ones to find your clan. But even a totem is minuscule in the sea of half-million people at EDC Las Vegas. With virtually no coverage and practically no WiFi coverage, you are basically looking for a needle at the bottom of the ocean. This is where a totem with a mesh network beacon is extremely useful. The beacon is like a shining star in the ocean of space.

The mesh network beacon that we are talking about in this guide is a Meshtastic radio. But it is not just any Meshtastic radio. It's a Meshtastic radio with a built-in GPS. The reason that the totem should have a Meshtastic GPS radio versus a basic Meshtastic radio is that the totem could be passed to anyone in the clan; the basic Meshtastic radio needs to be within 30 feet of a SmartPhone, whereas the GPS version does not. Everyone else in your clan can use a basic Meshtastic radio to find the beacon. This guide will show you how to build a mesh network beacon--Meshtastic GPS radio--for around $50.
