      When I think of pagers I think of receiving only, not sending. Meshtastic devices can typically do both.

      Kind of. But it is my understanding that pagers work with centralised transmitters/stations. I am no expert though, so maybe there is mesh-like pager protocols.

      This is decentralised, a mesh. Routing is done through the terminals themselves, rather than through a centralised transmitter.
