**donglora-bridge** connects LoRa radios to the internet so packets heard by one
|
||||
radio can be retransmitted by another radio anywhere in the world.

**donglora-bridge** relays raw LoRa packets over the internet. Every packet your
|
||||
radio hears is forwarded to every other bridge running the same passphrase, and
|
||||
their radios retransmit it locally. Because it operates on raw packets, it works
|
||||
with any protocol built on LoRa --

[Meshtastic](https://meshtastic.org/),
|
||||
[MeshCore](https://github.com/rocketgithub/meshcore-firmware),
|
||||
or anything else -- simultaneously and without configuration. If your radio can
|
||||
hear it, the bridge will relay it.

|

[LoRa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRa) is a long-range, low-power wireless
|
||||
protocol used by off-grid mesh networks like
|
||||
[MeshCore](https://github.com/rocketgithub/meshcore-firmware). A single LoRa
|
||||
radio might cover a few kilometers. This bridge removes that limit: any packet
|
||||
your radio hears gets relayed over the internet to every other bridge running the
|
||||
same passphrase, and their radios retransmit it locally. The result is a single
|
||||
mesh network across a larger geographic area.

modulation used by off-grid mesh networks. A single radio might cover a few

kilometers. This bridge removes that limit, extending a local LoRa network

across a larger geographic area.

There is no central server. Bridges discover each other automatically using the

[Mainline DHT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainline_DHT) and communicate
