# MeshCore SAR
|
|
|
|
Flutter app for Search and Rescue operations over a [MeshCore](https://github.com/meshcore-dev) mesh radio network via Bluetooth Low Energy.
|
|
|
|
## What It Does
|
|
|
|
MeshCore SAR helps teams coordinate in low-connectivity or no-connectivity environments using mesh radio + BLE.
|
|
|
|
- Send text messages to contacts, rooms, and channels
|
|
- Share voice clips and field images
|
|
- Track team movement and location updates
|
|
- Work with offline maps and field overlays
|
|
- Mark and share SAR points of interest
|
|
|
|

### Voice
|
|
|
|
- Push-to-talk voice clips optimized for low bandwidth
|
