Last week I had the pleasure of evaluating the MA projects of a graduating cohort at Design Academy Eindhoven. There were a few standouts, but the one I want to share with you today is Luca Marini’s project Mutable Net, https://mutablenet.xyz/nodesarchive
As I understand it, Luca’s intention is to bring designerly attention to bear on the material components of a mesh network. What I liked about his work is the balance he struck — IMO, very difficult to achieve — between the usual brut mesh anti-aesthetic of unstyled componentry at one pole and the hyperrefined, user-unmodifiable Apple aesthetic at the other.
The comparison I kept reaching for is that his devices bring the same thoughtfulness to ad-hoc technical infrastructure that my longtime favorites raumlaborberlin bring to the design of similarly open, self-assembled architectural-social spaces. The lesson in both cases is that it is possible for autonomy-optimizing projects to look nice, but not airless. #mesh #networks #meshnetworks

Of course the only thing I could do while on my way to Alte Hölle was to flash @postmarketOS on my Fairphone 5, so that I can use it as a Reticulum and/or MeshCore node at DWeb Camp ihihi eheheh

Off-grid comms has always forced a choice: sub-GHz bands for range, or compromise for throughput. 2.4 GHz LoRa is breaking that trade-off open.
GrayHatGuy has proven MeshCore runs on 2.4 GHz — and built the bridges that connect it back to sub-GHz backbones when you need the long hop.
New post: protocol bridges, channel bridges, frequency bridges, and why the difference matters.

After years of hands-on testing — from early Meshtastic nodes to running Reticulum across remote South Australian properties — I've learned that choosing off-grid mesh networking technology isn't purely technical. It's philosophical. LPWAN series: a detailed, honest comparison of Meshtastic, MeshCore, Reticulum, and ClusterDuck Protocol, born from failed experiments and the occasional moment of genuine excitement when a packet hops across several kilometres of Australian bush.

Excited to try this out: https://github.com/roogle-dev/reticulum-phantom
> Decentralized, end-to-end encrypted P2P file sharing over the Reticulum mesh network. The first torrent-like application built natively on Reticulum.
Update: I was informed this was vibe coded and finally got around to reading more into it. I can't recommend this. Please see this link for more info: https://github.com/roogle-dev/reticulum-phantom/issues/3#issuecomment-4285042507

Réseautage en #mesh
Comment communiquer quand on ne veut pas passer par #Internet ou la #5G ? Les #réseaux maillés ou #meshnetworks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking utilisent les ondes radio pour tisser des chaînes de #communication parallèles. Dans des sociétés de plus en plus surveillées où des gouvernements peuvent couper les télécommunications du jour au lendemain, ces réseaux décentralisés et accessibles ne sont pas qu'un délire de survivalistes https://mastodon.social/@garsthieu/116420882881816408

@benroyce the whole #meshnetworks thing feels suspiciously adjacent to other efforts to substitute something safe for something that might enact change: protest tech by buying someone else's tech rather than becoming active in lobbying for change. shop for dodads to build a toy wireless network rather than network with your community and build a support system.

Cutting off #Internet access for #authoritarian control is entrenched in #Russia
People talk about #meshNetworks. But Russians have decided on another approach:
pagers
radios
landline phones
Maybe the #revolution *will* be televised: it can't be streamed
I do enjoy myself some #SwanLake
"sales of pagers... saw a 73% increase compared to the same period in February. Radio sales rose by 27%, and landline phone sales grew by 25%"

LPWAN Meshes: ClusterDuck Protocol - Purpose-Built for Emergencies
The ClusterDuck Protocol (CDP) was where my mesh networking journey truly began. The story behind Project OWL (Organisation, Whereabouts, and Logistics)—students building emergency communication networks after Hurricane Maria—resonated deeply, highlighting a technology designed not for hobbyists or industry, but for saving lives when infrastructure fails. While I found its concepts “much better thought through” from the outset, the project’s slow pace and patchy hardware support meant my personal involvement never truly moved beyond some initial tinkering. -

"In the early 2000s, mesh networks were on the verge of being everywhere and connecting everything. Daisy-chaining many devices like beads on a string would “accommodate hundreds or thousands of nodes” and provide “low, up-front cost, easy network maintenance, robustness, and reliable service coverage,” according to mesh-networking forecasts from 2004 and 2005, respectively.
But it would take over two decades to get there. During that time, a range of mesh protocols and standards emerged, each claiming to be the solution—only to flame out or splinter into new incompatibilities.
In 2026, mesh networks that can work together in real-world settings are finally arriving. But rather than a single dominant standard that could power all variety of mesh networks, three separate but interoperable technologies are instead reaching maturity more or less simultaneously: Thread 1.4, a mesh standard for low-power smart-home devices; the Wi-Fi 7 standard for high-bandwidth computing; and the smart-home protocol Matter, which acts as a translator, so devices on different mesh networks can talk to one another. Together, these three provide the beginnings of compatibility and interoperability that has eluded mesh proponents for so long.
However, this multistandard compromise may well only be a way station. “I expect that one mesh technology will eat all the others eventually, possibly incorporating them,” said Mihail Sichitiu, professor of electrical and computer engineering at North Carolina State University, in Raleigh. “Maybe not immediately, but eventually. Looking at how other things evolved, it’s just a matter of time.”"

In a world where control of #communication networks is increasingly centralized, #DIYnetworks offer an independent alternative. This presentation shows how to build up your own autonomous #meshNetworks with low-cost hardware components and open source tools such as #Reticulum and #MeshChat. We will present practical steps for the construction, configuration and integration of sensors, communication and computing power. We are also discussing how such #networks can be used in #humanitarianCrises, such as the organisation of aid measures through solidarity initiatives.
https://media.ccc.de/v/eh22-97-eggceptional-meshnetworking-#t=950
This workshop offers a detailed journey through the world of do-it-yourself radio networks and #autonomousCommunication structures. Using an exemplary system structure, we show how to realize cost-effective, flexible mesh networks with #LoRa #RNode, Reticulum and MeshChat. In doing so, we not only dedicate ourselves to the technical requirements – such as the optimal hardware selection, antenna adaptation and network planning (keyword “Network Planning 101”) – but also consider how these technologies can be used for #humanitarian purposes, for example at #CADUS.
