A MeshCore Network, Built by Texans
A community-run MeshCore LoRa radio network spanning Texas — no internet, no cell towers, no infrastructure required. Just radios talking to radios.
A community-run MeshCore LoRa radio network spanning Texas — no internet, no cell towers, no infrastructure required. Just radios talking to radios.
MeshCore devices use long-range LoRa radio to send encrypted messages between nodes — covering several miles per hop with affordable hardware.
Every node is a relay. Messages automatically find their way through the network, routing around outages without any central server.
All traffic is end-to-end encrypted using public-key cryptography. Each device generates its own identity — no accounts, no registration.
Runs on battery or solar. When cell towers and internet go down — storms, disasters, grid failures — the mesh keeps working.
Live packet visualization, node tracking, route analysis, and deep mesh analytics for the Texas network. Powered by CoreScope.
Coverage map for the San Antonio region. Shows confirmed BIDIR, TX, RX, and DISC observations from wardriving and fixed observers.
The MeshTexas broker accepts connections from any Texas-area MeshCore operator. Auth uses the same JWT model as MeshMapper and Waev — your device mints its own token from its own keypair. No credentials, no registration.

Connect via USB serial at 115200 baud, then run:
set mqtt4.preset custom
set mqtt4.server mqtt.meshtexas.net
set mqtt4.port 443
set mqtt4.audience mqtt.meshtexas.net
save
rebootReplace mqtt4 with whichever slot you want to use (mqtt1–mqtt6).
Create a new TOML file in your config.d/ directory (e.g. 30-texasmesh.toml):
[[broker]]
name = "texasmesh"
enabled = true
server = "mqtt.meshtexas.net"
port = 443
transport = "websockets"
keepalive = 60
qos = 0
retain = true
[broker.tls]
enabled = true
verify = true
[broker.auth]
method = "token"
audience = "mqtt.meshtexas.net"Restart meshcoretomqtt and check logs for the broker connecting.
MeshTexas is active across Texas. Coverage grows as more operators add nodes and repeaters. IATA city codes are used to identify regions on the network.
