LORA MESH NETWORKS

Visualization of decentralized LoRaWAN and Meshtastic nodes.

DATA SOURCES

The GEOINT.WORLD LoRa Mesh module integrates real-time node metadata from decentralized community mapping projects.

MESHMAP / MESHCORE

Primary source for tracking public nodes in the Meshtastic network, revealing off-grid communication density and coverage areas across the globe.

FILTERS & CONTROLS

The LoRa Mesh module provides two separate filtering systems to control which nodes are displayed on the map.

MESHTASTIC FILTER

Filter Meshtastic nodes by their assigned role. Multiple roles can be selected simultaneously, and the system displays nodes matching any selected role.

Available Roles:

CLIENT — Standard user nodes
CLIENT_MUTE — Muted client nodes (receive-only)
CLIENT_BASE — Base station client nodes
ROUTER — Routing nodes for mesh network relay
REPEATER — Dedicated repeater nodes for coverage extension
ROUTER_LATE — Low-power routing nodes
TRACKER — GPS tracking nodes
SENSOR — Environmental or telemetry sensor nodes

Use the "DESELECT ALL" button to quickly clear all role filters.

MESHCORE FILTER

Filter Meshcore nodes by their type classification. This filter operates independently from the Meshtastic role filter.

Available Types:

CLIENT — Standard user nodes
REPEATER — Infrastructure nodes extending network coverage
ROOM_SERVER — Hub nodes managing localized mesh groups or "rooms"
SENSOR — Automated nodes relaying environmental data

Use the "DESELECT ALL" button to quickly clear all type filters.

Filter counts displayed next to each option (e.g., (0)) show the number of currently visible nodes matching that classification.

NODE COLOR LEGEND

Nodes are color-coded on the map for quick visual identification:

MESHTASTIC

MESHTASTIC NODE (RED) :: LoRa Mesh Network

MESHCORE

CLIENT (BLUE) :: MeshCore Client Node
REPEATER (ORANGE) :: MeshCore Repeater Node
ROOM SERVER (GREEN) :: MeshCore Room Server
SENSOR (MAGENTA) :: MeshCore Sensor Node

Use the i icon next to the LoRa layer in the application to access the real-time legend and node type classifications.

TELEMETRY FIELDS

Inspecting a LoRa node reveals the following raw telemetry data:
