Swiss Mesh
Community mesh networking for Switzerland.
Build resilient LoRa networks with MeshCore backbone routing and Meshtastic community nodes.
Mesh coverage in Switzerland (illustration)Coverage, built by the community.
Repeaters and nodes are run by operators across Switzerland and appear on the public MeshCore and Meshtastic maps.

MeshCore
Resilient LoRa backbone infrastructure for regional coverage. MeshCore focuses on reliable long-range routing and infrastructure, designed for fixed nodes, gateways, and backbone links that connect regions and communities.
- Long-range LoRa backbone nodes and gateways
- Regional routing and relay infrastructure
- Optimized for fixed, always-on installations
- Interconnects multiple local meshes
- Shared deployment guides and best-practice playbooks
Meshtastic
Decentralized community mesh for field communication. Meshtastic enables local, off-grid communication for people in the field, built for mobile nodes, communities, and ad-hoc networks.
- Portable LoRa nodes and gateways
- Local mesh routing for communities
- Ideal for mobile, battery-powered devices
- Messaging, location sharing, and telemetry
- Shared setup guides and community playbooks
Mesh Hardware
Rugged hardware kits and build guides for Swiss Mesh deployments.
- LoRa radios, boards, and gateways
- Outdoor enclosures and power options
- Antennas, cabling, and mounting
- Field-tested build lists
- Shared sourcing and assembly guides
License-free radios
Freely available radios like walkie talkies and CB keep local comms open.
- Walkie talkies (5-10 km range)
- CB radio (10-50 km range)
