Tools & Links

Useful sites, projects, and resources for mesh builders and operators.

Open-source mesh networking platform and companion firmware used by many community radio projects. A solid starting point if you are exploring LoRa mesh deployments and compatible hardware.
A cryptography-based networking stack for building wide-area meshes without traditional internet infrastructure. Helpful when you want resilient transport and tooling that goes beyond a single vendor ecosystem.
Popular off-grid mesh messaging project with broad hardware support and a strong community. Often used for regional nets; good reference for device range, channel plans, and operator practices.
The national association for amateur radio in the United States. Useful for licensing context, band plans, and operating norms when your mesh work overlaps Part 97 or shared spectrum.
Look up certified hardware and skim grant documents for power limits, bands, and approved configurations before you buy or deploy radios in the field.
Source repositories for firmware, clients, and protobufs. Handy when you need to trace behavior, open an issue, or build from source for a specific board.
