What exactly could I use this for? I know how LoRaWAN works, but it requires entrypoints into the internet. Does Meshtastic need these? Do I have to set up two nodes to use it for anything? Does it use existing LoRaWAN infrastructure?

My understanding is that it's peer-to-peer using two or more radio transmitters, so it shouldn't need access to the internet.
