At MeshEnvy, we believe that the vast distances of Nevada should not be a barrier to communication. Today, we are announcing our most ambitious project yet. We call it the Silver Triangle. This is a strategic mission to invite and inspire Nevadans from every corner of the state to help us assemble three critical backbones of mesh radio connectivity.
At MeshEnvy, our mission has always been clear. We want to ensure that anyone, anywhere in Nevada, can stay connected. While the LoRa (Long Range) hardware standards provide a powerful foundation for this vision, the software protocols that drive that hardware are just as critical. After extensive testing and real-world experience, we are officially migrating our primary deployment strategy from Meshtastic to MeshCore.
There is a specific kind of awe that hits you when you reach the top of Ophir Hill. The summit sits in the Virginia Range above historic Virginia City in Storey County, at about 7,782 feet above sea level. From there the whole basin feels within reach, ridgelines in every direction and the Comstock country laid out below.
Spanish Benchmark is a Washoe County high point northeast of Reno, near Spanish Springs. The summit sits at about 6,165 feet above sea level with roughly a thousand feet of prominence, which makes it a strong perch for looking out over the Spanish Springs Valley and the Truckee Meadows rim. We highlighted this location in our BLM Carson Field Office partnership announcement; here is a short field diary from early visits to the site.
If you hang around the off-grid tech space long enough, the words start to bleed together. Mesh, LoRa, Off-Grid, Decentralized. We use them like they're synonyms, but if we're being honest with ourselves, they aren't.
Lately, I've been thinking about what we're actually trying to build here. Is it just a hobbyist version of the cellular network, or is it something fundamentally different?
In a state like Nevada, connectivity is defined by the land. Approximately 85% of our state consists of public lands, the majority of which are managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). To achieve our goal of a truly connected Nevada, working alongside the stewards of this land is not just logical; it is essential.
We are thrilled to announce that MeshEnvy has entered into a strategic partnership with the BLM Carson Field Office.
On November 28, 2025, MeshEnvy NCC reached its most significant organizational milestone to date: we are now officially recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization.
MeshEnvy NCC has elected its inaugural Board of Directors, marking a major milestone on our path to nonprofit status and statewide mesh coverage. The board blends decades of technical execution with nonprofit governance so we can scale responsibly while staying true to Nevada's mesh community.
MeshEnvy NCC now has its official Nevada community communications credentials locked in. The Nevada Secretary of State issued our Entity ID E52600402025-2 and Business ID NV20253463357, confirming that MeshEnvy NCC is formally recognized by the state. In parallel, the IRS assigned our Employer Identification Number (EIN) 41-2583340, allowing us to stand up banking, manage donations, and keep finances transparent as we grow.
We're excited to announce that MeshEnvy NCC has officially submitted our Articles of Incorporation to the Nevada Secretary of State. This marks a pivotal milestone in our journey to formalize our organization and expand our mission across Nevada.
