There is the new mesh core off-grid repeat mode that turns companions into repeaters on a separate frequency from the standard mesh for if you are out in the backwoods with no repeater access.

Yeah that one is interesting, but has the downside of taking you off the larger mesh if you use it. I think it would be nice to have a setup where a groups nodes can operate in their own mesh with each one being a repeater, while simultaneously being part of the larger mesh with whatever nodes are in range of it acting as 'connecting' nodes between the 2.

I'm not a programmer but based on some of the technical chats in the discord, this is likely more complicated than it sounds.
