Since I'm not familiar with #MeshNetworks, I can't vouch for #BearTooth #communication devices. I do know that the first model (which was a lot cheaper), was touted to have a range of 2 miles, but was a pain to pair up devices, and also had a bad reputation of not working. So, when I came across BearTooth MKII at a much higher cost, I wonder if they've improved on the bugs from the older versions. If anyone knows more about BearTooth or mesh networks in general, please feel free to chime in...
