Beacon gets better when real communities stress-test it. We're especially interested in people who bridge everyday users and resilience infrastructure.

Who we're looking for

Lighthouse pilot partners

Lake associations, rural communities, festival organizers, or organizations with a fixed site and a reason to care about off-grid alerts.

You bring: A place, willing admins, optional solar/power expertise, tolerance for early hardware.

We bring: Software, integration guidance, co-design of the first Lighthouse deployment.

Meshtastic and LoRa builders

You've deployed nodes, understand range and power, and want a web-native app layer ordinary members can actually use.

Place admins and community leaders

You run a neighborhood group, team, campus, or association and want free emergency alerts with minimal setup.

Canadian infrastructure allies

Hosting providers, integrators, or organizations who care about data residency and community-owned edge - help us plan the migration path.
