FLX Mesh
Connect Your Community#
FLX Mesh is a community-built mesh network using Meshtastic to bring long-range, license-free communication to the Finger Lakes region of New York. Whether you’re hiking the gorges, working on a farm, or preparing for emergencies, FLX Mesh keeps you connected — no cell towers, no internet, no subscriptions.
Why Mesh?#
- Resilient communication — Works when cell networks and internet are down
- Zero recurring cost — No service plans, no subscriptions, just hardware
- Community-powered — Every node strengthens the network for everyone
- Private by design — Decentralized, encrypted, and locally operated
How It Works#
Meshtastic uses inexpensive LoRa radios to form a mesh network where messages hop from node to node across long distances. A single node on a hilltop can relay messages across an entire lake or valley. The more nodes in the network, the stronger and more reliable it becomes.
