The Louisiana Mesh Community is a growing group of individuals who share a common interest in Meshtastic, Meshcore, and other types of mesh radio networks.
We are based in Louisiana and share a love for exploring and expanding the state's mesh networks.
Whether you're new to the world of mesh communication or an experienced user, everyone is welcome to join and contribute to the community.
Meshtastic is a decentralized, open-source communication protocol that establishes a mesh network using low-power, long-range LoRa technology. It allows devices to send and receive text messages without relying on the internet, cellular networks, or any centralized infrastructure.
Meshcore is similar to Meshtastic, but with a focus on message reliability. It uses dedicated repeater nodes with a much more sophisticated pathing solution, allowing for more reliable message sending and receiving. This allows repeater hops to reach up to 64, compared to Meshtastic's 7 hops, where anything higher causes unreliable messages.
