Meshcore: Major Changes – Why We're Adopting Narrow Bandwidth

10/1/2025 1 min read

The new Meshcore video "MESHCORE BIG CHANGES!!!" announced it: Exciting changes are coming to the network!

The big star of the show? Narrow Bandwidth.

While they're just beginning to explore it in the UK, we have already been testing intensively in southern Germany, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland—with convincing results.


What Exactly Is Narrow Bandwidth?

Simply put:

Instead of using a wide frequency range, we rely on a narrower bandwidth.

Sounds technical, but it brings clear advantages:

  • Stability – Fewer interferences from other frequencies

  • Efficiency – Reliable connections even with many devices on the network

  • Range – Better signal quality over long distances


Our Experiences in Southern Germany, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland

We have thoroughly tested Narrow Bandwidth—the results speak for themselves:

  • Almost no interference in the network

  • Stable connections, even with many active nodes

  • Noticeably improved user experience in everyday use

The community's decision is clear:

Narrow Bandwidth is the right path.


Tip for Newcomers

If you're new to the Meshcore network, it's best to switch to Narrow Bandwidth right away.

That way, you'll be immediately compatible with everyone else.

Thanks to Narrow Bandwidth, I myself achieve a stable connection all the way to Liechtenstein

108 km away from my place of residence.

Not bad, right?
