Off-grid communications for the Justin, TX community.
JTXMesh is a community-operated radio mesh network serving Justin, Texas and nearby areas. It provides local messaging, tinkering, and coordination — with or without cellular networks or the internet.
What Is a Mesh Network?¶
A mesh network uses low-power radios to pass messages from device to device — no towers, no internet, no subscriptions.
What JTXMesh Is For¶
- Casual messaging between neighbors
- Learning and experimentation
- Community coordination
- Local resilience
- Emergency and disaster communications
How to Join¶
- Get a supported LoRa device
- Install Meshtastic firmware
- Apply the JTXMesh configuration
- Power on and join the mesh
No license required to listen. Participation is community-driven.
Technology¶
JTXMesh currently runs on Meshtastic firmware. We're also exploring MeshCore as an additional mesh protocol option in the near future.
- Meshtastic — Primary network, well-established
- MeshCore — Experimental, coming soon
Community-Run¶
JTXMesh is maintained by local volunteers and operators. There are no guarantees — only cooperation.
If you're nearby and curious, turn on a node and say hello.
Emergency Readiness¶
During outages or emergencies, JTXMesh may be used to:
- Share status updates
- Coordinate volunteers
- Maintain situational awareness
This does not replace 911 or emergency services.
