NO BARS.
NO PROBLEM.
Build, connect and experiment with off-grid messaging using MeshCore and Meshtastic. No cellular subscription. No tower required. Just radios, community, and a mesh that gets stronger as it grows.
RADIO: 915 MHz LoRa
MODE: OFF-GRID
PEERS: 12

From zero to mesh.
You don't need an amateur radio license or networking degree to start experimenting. Pick a platform, grab compatible hardware, configure it, and find other nodes.
Choose a platform
Understand MeshCore and Meshtastic and decide which fits what you want to build.
Compare platforms →Pick your hardware
Companion radios, repeaters, solar nodes, antennas and proven DIY components.
See devices →Connect to the network
Find nearby infrastructure, improve coverage and help fill in dead zones.
Explore coverage →Same spectrum. Different ideas.
Both platforms use LoRa radios for long-range, low-power communication. No Bars Club supports learning and experimentation with both.
Purpose-built messaging.
A lightweight mesh ecosystem built around reliable text communication and infrastructure nodes.
- Companion and repeater roles
- Great fit for fixed infrastructure
- Simple off-grid messaging focus
Feature-rich experimentation.
A mature open-source LoRa mesh with a broad hardware ecosystem and plenty of telemetry options.
- Huge hardware ecosystem
- Channels, telemetry and position data
- Strong maker community
BUILD THE VALLEY.
No Bars Club is concentrating on community-powered off-grid mesh coverage across Ansonia, Derby, Shelton, Orange, Seymour, and Woodbridge — building useful local infrastructure one node at a time.
Help close a coverage gap.
Live, work, or own property in the buildout area? A rooftop, hilltop, business, tower, or other elevated site could become an important part of the network.
Coverage is a team sport.
Portable nodes are useful. Elevated, well-powered infrastructure is what turns scattered radios into a dependable regional mesh.
Got height? Host a node.
Roofs, hills, towers and other elevated locations can dramatically improve coverage.
