Edmonton · Alberta · 902–928 MHz ISM
Open & off-grid radio messaging for the YEG region.
The Edmonton mesh is made up of many low-cost, community-hosted & maintained long range radio nodes, running free & open source software. Anyone with a companion device can join the network and start chatting, with as little as a $20 LoRa kit!
The Edmonton mesh currently runs primarily on the MeshCore firmware.
