About Freq51

The Freq51 community is building an open community mesh that anyone can join.

This network is designed as a radio-frequency communication tool for:

• Emergency and disaster response
• Off-grid (non-internet) coordination
• Experimentation and hobbyist projects
• Learning and collaboration around mesh networking

No radio license is required to use Meshtastic, making it accessible to newcomers and experienced operators alike.

Whether you’re here to experiment, support emergency preparedness, or explore mesh networking, you’re welcome.

Inside the Discord server, you’ll find:
