We are starting with practical LoRa coverage around Grand Rapids and nearby West Michigan corridors.
LoRa mesh networking for West Michigan
Welcome to West Michigan Mesh.
We are building a community-powered LoRa mesh network for resilient local communications, experimentation, emergency readiness, and neighbor-to-neighbor connectivity across West Michigan.
Bring your curiosity
Ham operators, makers, emergency volunteers, technologists, and interested neighbors are all welcome here.
Keep it useful
The goal is simple: local messaging that still has value at events, outdoors, and when normal networks get weird.
