MeshCore Repeaters & Coverage

Overview

MeshCore coverage in Ottawa is provided by a backbone of solar-powered repeaters. Coverage can vary depending on height, line-of-sight paths, and local terrain, but the following areas generally have access:

  • Ashton
  • Richmond
  • Barrhaven
  • Kanata
  • Nepean
  • Downtown
  • Old Ottawa South
  • Orleans

For a live view of deployed nodes, check the MeshCore Map. Use the filter at the top and select Repeaters only to see active backbone nodes in Ottawa.

Ottawa Repeater IDs

The table below lists currently deployed Ottawa repeaters. Each repeater has a unique ID, a name for easier reference, and basic information on location/height.

Repeater ID Name Location / Height
1234ABCD Ottawa_Downtown_R1 Downtown rooftop (~25m)
5678EFGH Orleans_R2 Orleans water tower (~30m)
9ABC1234 Kanata_R3 Kanata hilltop (~20m)

Note: IDs shown here are examples — replace with the real repeater IDs as discovered from adverts or the MeshCore Map.

Detailed Coverage Maps

This section contains community-generated coverage maps based on expected RF propagation. These are estimates only — actual coverage may vary depending on terrain, buildings, and antenna placement.
