¶ ✨ What is Meshtastic?
Meshtastic is an open-source, off-grid communication platform that enables people to stay connected using low-power, long-range radios. With Meshtastic, you can send text messages, share GPS locations, and communicate securely—even in remote areas with no cellular or internet access. Think about it as walkie talkies for texting.
It’s built on inexpensive hardware, easy to configure, and runs completely free of centralized infrastructure. Perfect for places where conventional communication isn’t guaranteed.
¶ 🎯 Our Mission at Burning Man
Our goal is to empower the Burning Man community with resilient, decentralized communication tools. Whether you're deep in the playa or exploring a remote art installation, Meshtastic can help you:
- Stay connected with your camp and friends
- Coordinate activities and safety without relying on cell networks
- Explore and share the playa with GPS location sharing
- Foster creativity and autonomy through open technology
