Long range isn't a necessity for mesh networks.

Regular wifi would be fine - the vast majority of the world's population lives within 100 yards of another person.

Shorter links actually increases spectrum utilization.

The issue is that wifi never managed to make a decent mesh networking standard. No router you buy today acts as an open mesh node for anyone to mesh with.
