The Mesh ("the mesh" or "the-mesh"), started through a joint research project between the UC Davis Department of Computer Science and Orange labs, is a mesh network comprised of many Wi-Fi access points to provide wireless access to campus, specifically the Segundo residential area. The projects claims to offer a "blanket" of outdoor coverage to the area.

The Mesh, with an SSID of the-mesh, can be accessed from many places in the Segundo area and, like moobilenet, requires a UC Davis ID and password to authenticate. Additionally, The Mesh offers "specialized" applications and services that, according to the project, are both "fun and useful".

Since the Mesh is a research project, coverage is not guaranteed across the area and is strong in a few select points, specifically focusing on the Dining Commons.
