Disaster Radio is a work-in-progress long-range, low-bandwidth wireless mesh network project for disaster recovery, powered by solar energy and built on ESP32 hardware with LoRa radios. It includes firmware, a web-based chat app, hardware schematics, and companion Android and mapping apps, though it is currently paused and seeking a new maintainer.

Use cases

  • communicate off-grid during disasters when cell networks are down
  • build a solar-powered LoRa mesh network for emergency messaging
  • set up long-range low-bandwidth chat between ESP32 devices
  • experiment with LoRa mesh networking firmware
  • deploy community-owned emergency communication infrastructure

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready, actively maintained project
  • you need high-bandwidth data transfer rather than short text messages
  • you require commercial support or a permissive license (no license is specified)
