Pulse Mesh – Lumos Designs

PulseMesh streams your show’s audio to visitors’ phones via the PulseMesh player. Guests open player.pulsemesh.io, it finds nearby shows, and they pick yours. This is great for anyone — especially drivers of cars without FM radios (like Tesla).

We will add the listening button to your Lumos website for you; just complete the steps below and send us the details.
