Las Vegas Meshtastic Network
Join a decentralized, off-grid communication network powered by Meshtastic.
What is Meshtastic?
Meshtastic is an exciting open-source platform that transforms affordable LoRa radios into a decentralized, off-grid mesh network. It lets you send encrypted text messages or share GPS locations over miles without relying on cell service or internet. Your phone connects to the device via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for seamless messaging and setup. Each node relays messages, creating a robust, self-healing web of connectivity — perfect for adventurers, emergency responders, or tech enthusiasts.

MeshBot Dashboard
The LASmesh MeshBot is getting a major upgrade. A live, interactive dashboard is on its way — pulling real data directly from the LASmesh Bot Nodes over the mesh. No MQTT. No cloud relays. Pure off-grid telemetry from the network itself.
See which nodes are online, their last-seen time, signal quality, and battery level — all at a glance.
All nodes plotted live with real-time position updates, coverage radius, and point-of-interest overlays across the valley.
Hop counts, SNR trends, uptime history, and network traffic — deep insight into how the mesh is performing.
Browse live !ping, !test, and !help interactions. Watch the network breathe in real time as community members check in.
