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
92 CAN Twin Elm – mounted on top of grain silo (~45 m)
f4 Mayfair Rooftop of Mayfair Theatre (~20 m)
4e MrAlders0n_R1 Rooftop in Old Barrhaven (~7.5 m)
4d MrAlders0n_R2 14th-floor apartment balcony (~40 m)

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.
