Magic Mesh · pre-order
Magic Mesh Desk Tower
A radio tower on your desk. The antenna up top, a red beacon, and the radio in the shack at its foot.
A broadcast tower in miniature, about 25 cm tall, red and white like the real ones. The Magic Mesh radio lives in the equipment shack at its foot with its screen wide in the roof, the antenna stands on the tower's top deck, and the whole site sits on its own patch of ground. It keeps your home on MeshCore, Meshtastic and Magic Mesh, with every message in Magic PTT as well.
What it does
- The antenna sits on top of the tower, about 25 cm up, on a cable down through the tower to the radio.
- Three networks from one radio: MeshCore, Meshtastic and Magic Mesh, every message in one inbox in Magic PTT.
- The screen reads wide in the shack's roof; one press of the button steps through it.
- A 3000 mAh battery in the shack keeps it on the air when the power goes out.
- On your Wi-Fi it ties your home to every other Magic Mesh place through Magic Mesh Global.
- Printed in ABS or ASA, never PLA, in red and white.

Magic Mesh · three networks
One radio. Three networks.
A Magic Mesh radio is on MeshCore, Meshtastic and Magic Mesh from the one radio. You read all three in one inbox, and one message can go out on all three.
One Magic Mesh radio
The MeshCore network around you
Your radio reads the open MeshCore channel and sends on it, radio to radio, with no internet.
The Meshtastic network around you
The same radio reads the open Meshtastic channel and sends on it too. One radio, not one for each network.
Our own network
Magic Mesh radios talk to each other on a network of their own. Where one has Wi-Fi, Magic Mesh Global carries it on to every other Magic Mesh place, so family in another state reads it in Magic PTT.
One inbox
A simulated example. Names are made up.
Each message is marked with the network it came on. Pick one, two or all three for what you send.
Meshtastic is a registered trademark of Meshtastic LLC, and MeshCore is the name of its own project. Magic Mesh works with both networks and is not made or endorsed by either.
