Scotland's Off-Grid
Mesh Radio Network
We deploy Meshtastic LoRa nodes on church towers, community buildings, and elevated structures across Scotland — building a resilient, licence-free mesh that requires no internet, no subscriptions, and no single point of failure. Tower by tower.
Built on Scotland's Built Heritage
Scotland is full of elevated structures that already stand above the local skyline. Church towers, telecom masts, water towers. We don't need to build infrastructure — we need access to the infrastructure that already exists.
Church towers, telecom masts, water towers, and community buildings stand above Scotland's rooftops. We don't need to build — we need access.
A node on a church steeple can be checked, powered, and maintained year-round. Solar powered, weatherproofed, and built to last.
Churches, councils, and community trusts are natural partners. A node on their building is a service to their community — and they know it.
Target Structures
These are the structures we're working to approach for landowner conversations.
St Giles' Cathedral
Royal Mile, Edinburgh — tower at 42m above street level
Central Edinburgh coverage and beyond. Line-of-sight to Calton Hill, Arthur's Seat fringe, and across to Fife on a clear day.
Dunblane Cathedral
Cathedral Square, Dunblane — mediaeval tower, excellent central Scotland position
Central belt link between Stirling and Perth. Bridges the Highland line. Strong coverage east to Fife.
Paisley Abbey
Abbey Close, Paisley — prominent tower west of Glasgow city centre
West of Glasgow coverage across Renfrewshire. Good line-of-sight towards the Firth of Clyde.
How the Network Works
No internet, no subscriptions, no single point of failure.
LoRa Radio
Long Range (LoRa) radio signals travel up to 50km in open terrain — on licence-free 868 MHz spectrum. No SIM card, no Wi-Fi.
Mesh Relay
Every device automatically relays messages it hears. Remove any one node and the mesh routes around it. No single point of failure.
Height Multiplies Range
A node at 25m AGL on a church tower gives 10–20× the coverage of a ground-level node — because it can see over rooftops and terrain.
Solar Powered
Nodes run on a small solar panel and battery. No mains power required. A well-designed installation runs indefinitely.
Own or Manage an Elevated Structure?
If you manage a church, community building, or other elevated structure in Scotland, we'd love to talk. A node takes about an hour to install, runs on solar, and costs you nothing.
