Mesh Intelligence Platform

Every Packet. Every Node.
One Dashboard.

A Raspberry Pi + SX1302 concentrator that captures, decodes, and maps every Meshtastic and Meshcore packet in range — for under $100.

Meshpoint

A Raspberry Pi with an SX1302 LoRa concentrator. It captures packets on 8 channels simultaneously across all spreading factors — like a LoRa gateway, but purpose-built for mesh network monitoring. Open source, under $100 to build.

Meshradar

The cloud platform that aggregates data from Meshpoints. Fleet management, live maps, decoded packet feeds, traffic analytics, and RF performance tools — all in one dashboard at meshradar.io.

Capabilities

What Meshradar Does

A passive intelligence layer above the mesh — listening, decoding, and visualizing everything.

01

Capture

Gateway-grade SX1302 concentrator receives on 8 channels simultaneously across all spreading factors. Not a node — a real LoRa gateway.

02

Decrypt

Automatic decryption and full protobuf parsing extracts positions, telemetry, text messages, node info, and routing data.

03

Visualize

Real-time maps, signal analytics, and fleet management. Every Meshpoint feeds data upstream to build a city-wide mesh picture.

04
Coming Soon

Analyze

Distance vs signal curves, coverage heatmaps, and per-node RF report cards. Test your antenna, your enclosure, your placement.

Architecture

How It Works

1

LoRa Packets

Over-the-air mesh traffic from every node in range

2

Concentrator RX

SX1302 captures on 8 channels simultaneously

3

Decrypt & Decode

Packets decrypted and parsed on the Raspberry Pi

4

Dashboard

Local real-time UI plus cloud sync to Meshradar

In Action

Real-Time Packet Intelligence

This is what your Meshpoint sees. Every packet decoded, every node tracked.

Hardware

Two paths to a working Meshpoint — both under $100.

Recommended

RAK Hotspot V2 / MNTD (~$60)

The easiest path. These retired Helium miners (model RAK7248) include a Pi 4, RAK2287, Pi HAT, antenna, and power supply — all in a compact aluminum enclosure. Flash a fresh SD card and run the installer. That's it.

  • Pi 4 + RAK2287 + Pi HAT included
  • Metal enclosure with SMA antenna jack
  • Power supply and SD card included
  • $40–70 on eBay
Find on eBay

Build Your Own (~$85)

Raspberry Pi 4 (1GB+)$35
RAK2287 SX1302 + Pi HAT~$20
915 MHz LoRa Antenna$10
MicroSD Card (16GB+)$10
USB-C Power Supply (5V 3A)$10
Total~$85

RAK2287 concentrators and Pi HATs are easy to find on eBay for ~$20 combined thanks to Helium’s surplus.
