Welcome to MeshSydney

Building a community-driven LoRa mesh network across Sydney

MeshSydney is a decentralized, resilient communication network using MeshCore technology and LoRa radio to provide long-range, low-power connectivity for everyone.

About MeshSydney

πŸ“‘

What is MeshCore?

MeshCore is an open-source mesh networking platform that uses LoRa radios to create long-range, decentralized communication networks. Perfect for emergency communications and off-grid connectivity.

πŸ”—

Mesh Networking

Every node in the network acts as both a client and a relay, creating a resilient web of connectivity. Messages automatically hop through the mesh to reach their destination.

🌏

Community Driven

MeshSydney is built and maintained by the community. Join us in creating a free, open communication infrastructure for Sydney and beyond.
