This paper presents a system for reliable collection, filtering, and processing of data from a LoRa Meshtastic decentralized\nnetwork, developed for use in remote areas with weak or no mobile network coverage. The core idea stems from the need to enable\nefficient exchange of small data packets at intervals, without relying on expensive and often unavailable internet infrastructure.\nThe key innovation lies in the implementation of the Meshtastic gateway concept, which provides internet access via HTTP\nrequests, while the developed database model ensures continuity and reliability of data transmission. Data arriving in the network\nas unstructured messages are extracted using regular expressions, transformed into JSON format, and sent to the visualization\nplatform Grafana, while simultaneously being stored in a local database for later queries, research, and analysis. The system\u2019s\nreliability is further enhanced by introducing a two-layer acknowledgment mechanism (Meshtastic ACK_APP and remote API\napplication-level ACK), as well as an offline mode that logs undelivered messages and their causes through flags and error records.\nThis ensures resilience to data loss and enables seamless operation continuation after connection interruptions.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
