We’re excited to share some big news: SnyderMesh has officially expanded and will now be known as BuffaLoRa! This new name better reflects our growing footprint across Western New York, and our mission to connect communities with resilient, decentralized communication through Meshtastic and LoRa technology.
Why the Change?
When we started SnyderMesh, our focus was small and local. But with each new node, partner, and supporter, the network grew beyond Snyder. Today, our coverage spans across the Buffalo Southtowns and is pushing into the city and the northern suburbs. The new name — BuffaLoRa — captures both our home base in Buffalo and the LoRa technology that makes it all possible.
Featured on NYMesh and Meshtastic
We’re grateful to have friends who are helping spread the word about this next chapter.
NYMesh, one of the most inspiring community mesh networking projects in the world, is promoting our expansion on their site: nyme.sh We’re also proud to now be listed on the official Meshtastic Local Groups page, putting BuffaLoRa on the map alongside other regional community builders.
These connections highlight the collaborative spirit that makes community networks thrive.
What’s Next for BuffaLoRa?
Our work is just getting started. In the coming months, we’ll be:
Deploying more nodes to strengthen coverage across Buffalo and Western New York Partnering with local organizations and radio clubs to expand resiliency and reach Supporting experiments and use cases that show what community-driven communication can achieve
We believe in building a network that belongs to everyone – a system that’s open, community-powered, and resilient enough to keep people connected when they need it most.
