OkieMesh.org

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.

Features

  • 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.
