What is Houston Mesh?

Houston Mesh is a community of Meshtastic users working together to create a highly resilient, city-wide mesh network. We focus on building a decentralized communication system that serves both as a hobby and a backup for when traditional networks fail.

Why Join Us?

  • Connect with other tech enthusiasts and radio hobbyists
  • Learn and share knowledge about mesh networking
  • Be prepared for emergency communication needs
  • Help new users get set up and running

How It Works

  1. Meshtastic is an open-source, long-range, off-grid communication system.
  2. Devices use LoRa (Long Range) radio signals to relay messages across the network.
  3. The more users, the stronger and more reliable the network becomes.

  2. Connect & Configure – We can help you set up your node.
  3. Join the Network – Start relaying and sending messages.
  4. Help Expand the Mesh – The more nodes, the better the coverage.
