Mesh & LoRa Networking

MeshCore, LoRaWAN and ChirpStack work — the radio and networking layer beneath my monitoring products.

Mesh & LoRa Networking

The radio and networking layer that ties sensors, hubs, and gateways together across distance and obstacles.

Overview

Most of my remote-monitoring work runs on long-range, low-power radio rather than telco. I design and deploy across the full LoRa family — point-to-point LoRa, MeshCore mesh networks, and LoRaWAN with a ChirpStack network server — picking the right stack for the site rather than forcing one pattern onto every job.

What I work with

MeshCore

Self-healing mesh for coverage around obstacles and across distance. I run the AU915 Victoria preset by default, with an SF12 / BW125 long-range alternative for the hardest links, across Companion, Repeater, Sensor, and Room Server firmware roles.

LoRaWAN & ChirpStack

Standards-based LoRaWAN with a self-hosted ChirpStack network server, Cayenne LPP payload encoding, and integration into local and cloud data pipelines.

Hardware

ESP32, nRF52840, RAK4631, Heltec V3, SenseCAP T1000-E, and RP2040-class nodes — custom firmware in C++ with ultra-low-power deep-sleep designs for multi-year battery life.

Tuning & diagnosis

When the defaults do not fit a site, I tune the link and prove it with LoRaScope — measuring spectrum, collisions, and link health at the radio layer rather than guessing.
