Imagine staying connected even when cell towers fail, Wi-Fi is unavailable, or you’re miles from the nearest internet connection. That’s Ham Radio, but that’s also MeshCore and Meshtastic!

Learn about two innovative projects that use low-power LoRa radios to create decentralized, off-grid mesh networks. Whether you’re an outdoor adventurer, emergency preparedness enthusiast, radio hobbyist, or simply curious about resilient communications, these techniques let you send messages, share location data, and build community-powered networks without relying on traditional infrastructure. Join a growing movement of makers and explorers who are redefining what communication looks like when the internet isn’t an option. It even ties into Ham Radio modes!

Many new things go on to be successful, and many more never make it. I’ll be showing the latest in robotics and technology.
