Privacy concerns are a significant issue when using mesh technology for off-grid communication. According to a study, 90% of mesh network users are concerned about the security of their communication, and 80% believe that encryption methods are essential for ensuring their privacy. Mesh devices use peer-to-peer networks, which means that every node acts as another point of communication, making it completely private and secure. However, users must be cautious as every hop the message takes to the next node halves the bandwidth, and the network is limited to known nodes. To ensure privacy, encryption methods are necessary, and users must be aware of the potential risks of using mesh technology for off-grid communication.
