Welcome to Dixie Mesh

Dixie Mesh is a community-run LoRa mesh network built on MeshCore. It lets people send messages across town — and beyond — without relying on cellular service, the internet, or any central infrastructure. Just low-power radios passing messages node to node.

Whether you’re a seasoned radio operator, an off-grid tinkerer, or simply curious about resilient communication, you’re in the right place.

What is a mesh network?

In a mesh network, every node can relay messages for every other node. There’s no single point of failure and no monthly bill — the network is the people who run it. The more nodes that join, the further messages can travel and the more reliable the whole system becomes.

Why Dixie Mesh?

• Independent — works when the internet and cell towers don’t.
• Low cost — built on inexpensive, low-power LoRa hardware.
• Community owned — no company, no subscription, no gatekeepers.
• Open — built on the open MeshCore project.

Dixie Mesh grows with every new node. If you’d like to join the network, set up your own device, or just learn more, follow along as we add guides here.
