Partners

Iron Range Mesh runs on community goodwill. These businesses, organizations, and individuals host nodes, lend rooftops and towers, or help spread the word.

A mesh network is only as good as the spots it can broadcast from. Partners who host a stationary node — on a rooftop, a tower, a barn, or a tall tree — make coverage possible for everyone on the Range. We’re grateful for every one of them.

We’re especially looking for sites in and around:

Interested in hosting a node, or want your organization listed here? Reach out in Discord or email hello@irmesh.org.

Iron Range Mesh is an independent, volunteer community group. Partners host or support nodes voluntarily and aren’t responsible for network availability.
