The Dutch community for Reticulum and LoRa

Reticulum, nodes and a LoRa network in the Netherlands

ReticulumNet is a website about Reticulum, Ratspeak and LoRa in the Netherlands. You will find explanations, the LoRa settings and a public node to connect to if you want to try Reticulum yourself.

How to get started First understand how it works

rnstatus

Reticulum Transport Instance running

Interfaces:

ReticulumNet LoRa

869.463 MHz / SF8 / BW 125 kHz

Status: Up

TCP Interface

node.reticulumnet.nl:4242

Status: Up

Transport: enabled

Multiple connections at once

Reticulum can use LoRa, WiFi, internet and other interfaces side by side on the same node.

Get started without much hassle

With Ratspeak and node.reticulumnet.nl:4242 you are on the network over the internet, without any hardware of your own.

Entry point and infrastructure

There is already a public transport node, a propagation node and a group chat to connect to.

Room to build further

From a first chat message to your own gateway node.

Why people start here

You do not have to understand everything right away

You can join through an app first and only dive into nodes, interfaces and routing later.

The explanations stay practical

You will find real config examples and the radio settings the network uses.

There is already something to join

There are already nodes, chat channels and people testing and building.

LoRa is an extension, not a requirement

Start over the internet if you like. Add an RNode later if you want to get on the radio network.

You can contribute yourself

With your own node, extra coverage, testing, documentation or simply by joining the conversation in the community.

LoRa network in the Netherlands

ReticulumNet also runs over LoRa. With an RNode set to the right parameters you can join the radio network straight away, or add your own coverage later.

These settings are the starting point for the Dutch community. More on range, antennas and trade-offs is on the LoRa page.
