  • •MeshLive enables decentralized voice and video calls on Android via Bluetooth.
  • •Calls are end-to-end encrypted, enhancing user privacy.
  • •The application is in beta and should not be relied upon for critical communications.

The MeshLive project has introduced a decentralized telephony solution for Android phones, utilizing Bluetooth to create a mesh network for voice and video calls. This application allows users to communicate without relying on centralized networks, making it suitable for areas without internet access. Calls are end-to-end encrypted, and users are identified by unique, randomly changing names. However, the range is limited to approximately 20 meters due to Bluetooth constraints. The project is currently in beta, and while it offers innovative features like livestreaming, it is advised not to depend on it for communications. The application is open source and aims to enhance connectivity in remote locations, such as during hikes or festivals.
