West Coast Mesh is a decentralized LoRa/Meshcore network designed for reliable communication when traditional systems fail.
No cell service, Internet, or grid power required — just long-range, encrypted text communication across a resilient mesh.


🚨 What It Does

  • Enables text messaging between nodes up to miles apart
  • Operates off-grid using low-power LoRa radios
  • Automatically forms mesh networks with no central server
  • Offers encryption and privacy for sensitive operations
  • Works with solar, battery, or USB power sources

🧭 Who It’s For

  • First Responders – coordinate in blackouts or disaster zones
  • Mission-Critical Teams – maintain comms in remote or unstable areas
  • Community Networks – connect neighbors off-grid
  • Privacy Advocates – enjoy encrypted, decentralized communication

🛠️ How It Works

  1. Each node uses a LoRa radio (e.g., Meshtastic-compatible device).
  2. Devices broadcast and relay messages peer-to-peer.
  3. No single point of failure — every node extends the range.
  4. Optional gateways can connect to the wider network when available.

⚙️ Getting Started

  • Visit wcmesh.com for setup guides and hardware recommendations.
  • Flash your LoRa device with the latest firmware.
  • Join your regional channel to start sending messages.
  • Optional: integrate with your community mesh or emergency team.

🔒 Encryption & Privacy

  • End-to-end encrypted messages
  • Decentralized — no cloud dependency
  • Open participation, transparent operation

🌎 Our Vision

To create a resilient, self-healing communication grid that empowers people to stay connected — no matter what happens to the infrastructure around them.
