New Jersey Community Network

Off-grid.
Resilient.
Connected.

NJ Mesh is a volunteer-built, community-owned mesh network for New Jersey β€” no internet required, no cell towers, no subscription. Just people helping people stay connected.

A radio network
built by neighbors

MeshCore is a long-range radio mesh protocol. Each node extends the network β€” no internet, no infrastructure, no central authority. Messages, pings, and data hop between nodes across miles.

NJ Mesh is building a statewide network of repeaters on rooftops, towers, and hilltops across New Jersey. When disaster strikes, when cell towers go down, the mesh stays up.

No Internet Required

Nodes communicate directly over radio. Works when cell towers and internet are down β€” perfect for emergencies, disasters, and off-grid use.

Encrypted by Default

All MeshCore traffic is end-to-end encrypted. Your messages are yours β€” no corporate servers, no data harvesting.

Self-Healing Mesh

If one node goes down, traffic automatically reroutes. The more nodes we add across NJ, the stronger and more resilient the network becomes.

🌿

Community-Owned

No subscriptions, no corporations, no gatekeepers. NJ Mesh is built and maintained by New Jersey volunteers for New Jersey residents.
