The network

Rooftops, towers, and front porches, all on the same mesh.

Live maps you can actually read

Watch Meshcore and Meshtastic activity ripple across the coast in real time. See who heard whom, which repeaters are hot, and where the next install would matter most.

Built for hurricane season

When the cell network drops and the internet goes with it, the mesh keeps moving on solar, battery, or a USB pack, backed by our repeaters on tall sites.

Open and tinkerable

Open firmware, open docs, open neighbors. Hack the stack, file a PR, or just show up and ask questions.

Regions

Anchored in Louisiana,
