Welcome to the official repository for OkieMesh.org! This project supports the development and growth of a mesh network community in Oklahoma using solar-powered Meshtastic radios. The goal is to provide a resilient, decentralized communication system that operates without reliance on external infrastructure like power grids, cell towers, or the internet.
OkieMesh is a community-driven initiative to build a city-wide text messaging network using low-power, long-range radios. Our network enables both public and private communication, making it a valuable tool for emergency preparedness, events, and staying connected in remote areas.
- Mesh Network: Decentralized communication through Meshtastic radios.
- Solar Power: Sustainable, off-grid operation.
- Public/Private Messaging: Flexible communication options.
- Open Source: Built on open technology to encourage collaboration and innovation.
