North Dakota

NodakMesh is North Dakotans putting radios on grain bins, deer stands and the cabin up at the lake, so everybody stays in touch when the cell bars don't. MeshCore and Meshtastic, from the Red River to the Badlands.

Rugby, then you

Rugby has called itself the geographic center of North America since 1931. We're filling in the map around it one hop at a time.

More shore than California's coast

Lake Sakakawea has around 1,300 to 1,500 miles of shoreline, more than California's 840-mile Pacific coast. That's a lot of cabins, boats and boat ramps to keep in touch.

Builds that make it through a Dakota January, written up in the guides so yours does too.

What is Mesh Networking?

Mesh networks create a web of interconnected devices that can communicate directly with each other, without relying on cell towers or internet infrastructure. Perfect for rural North Dakota.

No Cell Service Required

Communicate in areas with no cell coverage. Each node extends the network further.

Long Range LoRa

LoRa technology enables communication over miles, even with low power and small antennas.

Encrypted & Secure

Direct messages and private channels are encrypted. Public channels use a known key, so anyone can read them.
