About
Empowering Altadena with Community-Driven Connectivity
AltaMesh is an initiative born from the heart of Altadena, California, aimed at forging a resilient, decentralized communication network through the deployment of Meshtastic nodes. Our mission is to leverage cutting-edge affordable technology to enhance connectivity and foster community engagement across Altadena and beyond.
Our Vision
In an era where digital connectivity is crucial, AltaMesh envisions a future where every member of our community can communicate freely and reliably, regardless of the challenges posed by geography, infrastructure, or emergencies. We believe in the power of community-driven efforts to create a resilient mesh network that not only serves as a backbone for communication but also as a platform for innovation, education, and collaboration.
Our Mission
AltaMesh's mission is to:
- Build a Robust Network: By deploying Meshtastic nodes throughout Altadena and the San Gabriel Mountains, we aim to create a mesh network that ensures uninterrupted communication.
- Foster Community Collaboration: AltaMesh is more than a network; it's a community initiative that encourages participation, knowledge sharing, and collective problem-solving.
- Drive Innovation: We empower our community members to explore new uses for the network, from enhancing outdoor recreational activities to developing solutions for local challenges.
Why AltaMesh?
Altadena, nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, is a community rich in diversity and natural beauty. However, its unique geography can present challenges to traditional communication networks. AltaMesh addresses these challenges head-on, providing a sustainable, efficient, and community-focused solution that ensures connectivity.
