Sovereign ecological sensing and edge intelligence

Mission

rf.mesh is the sovereign field intelligence backbone of Restoring Eden: a local-first ecological sensing, drone coordination, RF communications, and edge compute architecture for regenerative land stewardship.

It unifies environmental telemetry, aerial sensing, mesh radio, photogrammetry, and high-density compute into one modular autonomous system.

System Identity

This is not a cloud IoT dashboard, not a smart-farm appliance, and not a hobby mesh. It is a sovereign edge refinery: designed for resilient local ownership, ecological intelligence, and long-term scalable swarm operations.

The three-plane architecture

PLANE 1
CONTROL

Persistent low-bandwidth RF nervous system

Meshtastic, Reticulum, telemetry heartbeat, swarm coordination, sensor node status, drone command routing, field safety signaling.

PLANE 2
INGEST

High-volume sensor payload transport

Drone RGB imagery, multispectral captures, LiDAR payloads, SDR recordings, point clouds, burst offload channels, dock ingest pipelines.

PLANE 3
REFINERY

Compute, fusion, modeling, and archive intelligence

GPU rendering, Gaussian splats, photogrammetry, digital twins, ecological dashboards, NDVI pipelines, long-term climate and habitat archives.
