Mesh Radar — Mesh Intelligence Platform

How It Works

From Radio Waves to Intelligence

Three stages turn raw LoRa signals into actionable mesh data.

Capture

8 channels with 16 demodulators receive SF7 through SF12 simultaneously. Higher sensitivity and dynamic range than any standard node.

Decode

AES-CTR decryption, protobuf parsing, and 14 portnum decoders extract positions, messages, telemetry, routing, and node identities from both Meshtastic and MeshCore.

Map & Analyze

Nodes plotted on a live map with signal strength, topology links, and traffic patterns. Local dashboard on the device, cloud aggregation across all Meshpoints.

Capabilities

More Than a Packet Sniffer

Every feature built to give you complete visibility into your mesh network.

Multi-SF Reception

SF7 through SF12 simultaneously. Hear LongFast, MediumFast, ShortFast, and everything in between without switching presets.

Dual Protocol

Meshtastic and MeshCore decoded natively. Both protocols captured, decrypted, and stored from a single device.

6 Regions

US, EU 868, Australia/NZ, India, Korea, and Singapore. Select your region in the setup wizard and the concentrator configures itself.

MQTT Gateway

Dual-protocol publishing: Meshtastic as native protobuf ServiceEnvelopes, MeshCore as JSON. Compatible with community maps, Home Assistant auto-discovery, and custom pipelines.

Local Stats Dashboard

12 live charts on the device itself. Protocol breakdown, RSSI distribution, traffic timeline, device roles, and relay analytics.

Native Messaging

Send and receive Meshtastic messages through the concentrator's built-in TX. MeshCore messaging via companion. Full chat UI with conversations, channels, and contacts.

Cloud Node Catalog

66,000+ nodes indexed across all Meshpoints with search, filtering by protocol and device, and sortable columns. Updated hourly.

Two Dashboards, Full Visibility

A local dashboard on each Meshpoint for real-time device stats, plus a cloud dashboard that aggregates everything.

Why a Concentrator?

Standard Node vs Meshpoint

A regular Meshtastic node sees its own traffic on one channel. A Meshpoint sees everything.

	Standard Node	Meshpoint
RX Channels	1	8
Demodulators	1	16 (multi-SF)
Protocols	Meshtastic only	Meshtastic + MeshCore
Regions	1 at a time	6 supported
Role	Participant	Observer + messenger
Packet visibility	Own channel	All traffic in range
Messaging	Built-in	Native TX + chat UI
MQTT	Built-in (limited)	Full gateway, protobuf + JSON
Storage	None	SQLite with retention
Analytics	None	12 live charts + cloud aggregation
Dashboard	None	Local + cloud web UI
