Building resilient, decentralized, off-grid communications across the region.
Welcome to the Reddog's Farm MeshCore node project. We build and maintain open-source, decentralized LoRa repeater nodes designed to strengthen off-grid community communication networks. From custom solar buoy deployables to high-elevation micro-repeaters, our hardware setups are designed for durability, reliability, and maximum RF coverage.
An ultra-compact, solar-powered off-grid repeater built inside a modified solar buoy light enclosure. Uses the Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 + SX1262 Kit, direct bottom whip antenna, 1S BMS, and MPPT charger.
A self-contained, solar-charged outdoor repeater housed in a modified landscape light fixture. Great for tree mounts, fence posts, and perimeter coverage.
A high-reliability fixed node designed for rooftop or mast mounting. Powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) for seamless continuous operation and remote resets.
A portable plug-and-play micro repeater powered via standard 5V USB. Ideal for indoor windowsill placement, vehicle deployment, or mobile emergency ops.
Open, decentralized, community-built communications for the Lehigh Valley. Bringing together builders, makers, radio hobbyists, and off-grid enthusiasts.
