ICMESH - Inter-Canyon Mesh Text Message Network 🌄🛰️

ICMESH is a community-driven project creating a peer-to-peer encrypted communication network across Trabuco Canyon, CA, using Meshtastic. This off-grid network operates without internet or cell service, designed for curiosity, connection, and emergency preparedness during events like fires, fallen poles, and flooding.

Mission

Unite the Trabuco Canyon community with a secure, alternate communication network, ensuring connectivity without relying on traditional infrastructure like SCE power, internet, radio repeaters, or cell towers.

How It Works

Meshtastic (Lora Mesh Networking) forms a decentralized, resilient network where devices communicate over long distances, rerouting messages if nodes fail, using unlicensed 915 MHz frequencies for extensive coverage.

Get Involved

  • Join with a Meshtastic device (e.g., SenseCap Tracker, WisMesh Pocket) and the Meshtastic app.
  • Help expand coverage, place routers, or fund the network.
  • Participate in weekly nets every Wednesday at 7:00 PM PT.
