Connect your MeshCore gateway to the worldwide federation. Field radios anywhere on earth reach any other mesh — encrypted, reliable, no licence required.
Like WIRES-X for ham radio — but open, free, and for LoRa mesh
Run our one-command installer on a Raspberry Pi with a LoRa radio attached
Create an operator account and register your gateway — takes 2 minutes
Connect to MESH-GLOBAL-01 or any regional reflector — or create your own
Your field radios now reach every other mesh on the same reflector worldwide
Built on open standards — no proprietary hardware, no licences, no lock-in
WireGuard VPN between gateways. AES encryption on the LoRa RF layer. The federation server never sees message contents — only routes them.
Any gateway anywhere connects to any reflector. USA to Philippines to Japan — same mesh, same messages, zero configuration beyond joining a reflector.
LoRa operates on the ISM band (915 MHz in US/PH). No amateur radio licence needed. Anyone can deploy a gateway or carry a field radio.
Emergency SOS packets route to every gateway on every reflector globally. Hold the SOS button 3 seconds — your GPS coordinates reach all connected operators worldwide instantly.
Room Servers on each gateway store messages for offline nodes. Field radio out of range for hours? Send !history when back in range — nothing is lost.
Raspberry Pi 4 + RAK4631 LoRa radio + antenna. Total gateway cost under $80. Field radio under $35. Solar-powered repeater under $130.
Connect your gateway to a reflector to join that network
