T94a3b8For everyone, everywhere.

Colorado Mesh (formerly DenverMesh) is a grassroots group of
amateur radio operators, outdoor enthusiasts, hobbyists, and
locals building a resilient, decentralized mesh network with
affordable hardware. No internet or cell towers needed - just
people-powered nodes running T86efacMeshtastic, T22d3eeMeshCore,
and Tf59e0bReticulum on 915 MHz LoRa.

..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Messages hop from node to node until they reach their
destination, extending the reach of the network and ensuring
everyone receives every message. Three protocols share the
airwaves:

l
| protocol | what it is |
|:---------|:-----------|
| T86efacMeshtastic | off-the-shelf LoRa mesh, easy to start |
| T22d3eeMeshCore | companion radios with advanced routing |
| Tf59e0bReticulum | encrypted stack powering Nomad Network |

The Discord server is where the community gathers to ask
questions, share node locations, and coordinate across the
state. T94a3b8It is also where you'll find the full list of
regional groups.

Channels, MQTT, and best practices for joining the mesh.

Guides for flashing devices, companion and repeater setup,
and prefix planning for the Front Range mesh.

Colorado has Tf59e0bmany more regional groups than can be
listed here, and new ones start all the time. The Discord
server's regional channels are the authoritative, up-to-date

Groups with regional pages on coloradomesh.org (currently
under construction as regional portals are created):

RF propagation, and equipment. Drop in when you can - not
everyone checks in every week.

Free tools operated by Colorado Mesh volunteers to keep the
network healthy:

| T22d3eeSetup utilities | flash and configure radios |

A dedicated T22d3eeMeshCore MQTT observer server feeds the
analyzer - ask on Discord for details.
