A solar-powered Meshtastic/MeshCore node built for reliable 24/7 outdoor operation. Designed to provide reliable long-range communication without cellular service, Wi-Fi or Internet, this node helps extend your Meshtastic mesh network by relaying messages between compatible devices. The unit combines a high-efficiency ETFE solar panel, a genuine 5 dBi outdoor antenna, a high-capacity 10,000 mAh Li-ion battery pack, and a weather-resistant ASA enclosure in one compact package designed for continuous outdoor operation. The node automatically switches between solar and USB power. Connecting USB automatically disables solar charging, allowing the device to charge and operate from USB without any manual switching. Perfect for installation on houses, fences, poles, masts and other outdoor locations. 📌 Key Features: Integrated solar panel with MPPT charging Ultra-low-power RAK Wireless platform Genuine 5 dBi outdoor antenna Weather-resistant ASA enclosure Automatic Solar/USB Power Switching Meshtastic or MeshCore firmware pre-installed Easy configuration via Bluetooth or USB Fully assembled, tested, and ready to use ⚙️ Specifications: ETFE Solar Panel (2W+)ETFE coating provides excellent light transmission, durability, UV resistance and self-cleaning properties, making it ideal for long-term outdoor use. RAK Wireless Platform (RAK19003 Mini Base Board + RAK4631 nRF52 Core Module)Built on the ultra-low-power nRF52 platform, well suited for permanently installed remote LoRa nodes. Frequency868 MHz (EU) or 915 MHz (US), preconfigured for your selected region. BatteryDual LG 21700 lithium-ion cells with a combined capacity of 10,000+ mAh. A fully charged battery pack may operate the radio for up to 30 days or longer without additional solar input, depending on temperature, LoRa traffic, transmit settings, Bluetooth use and other operating conditions. Battery operating temperature: −40°C to +80°C. ChargingUSB-C and integrated solar charging. A fully charged battery pack may operate the radio for up to 30 days or longer without additional solar input. Actual runtime depends on temperature, LoRa traffic, transmit settings, Bluetooth use and other configuration choices. Enclosure MaterialUV- and weather-resistant ASA, designed for permanent outdoor installation. 🔧 Installation The node can be mounted to a house, exterior wall, fence, building, mast or similar structure. Integrated mounting slots simplify installation, and optional mounting kits can be selected when placing your order to suit different installation requirements. Install the solar panel where it receives as much direct sunlight as possible. Although the RAK Wireless hardware consumes very little energy, the system still requires some sunlight on most days to remain continuously charged. 📡 Why Meshtastic? Unlike traditional communication systems, Meshtastic works without cellular service, Wi-Fi or Internet. Compatible devices create a decentralized mesh network where each node can relay messages for others, extending coverage far beyond the range of a single device. Whether you're exploring the outdoors, managing a remote property or preparing for emergencies, Meshtastic provides a reliable way to stay connected when conventional networks are unavailable.

Turn on the node and connect through the Meshtastic app using Bluetooth (make sure your phone Bluetooth is on). Default Bluetooth PIN: 123456 The radio can also be configured through USB using the Meshtastic web client: client.meshtastic.org/settings/radio 📖 Open-Source Notice This product contains firmware from the open-source Meshtastic project, developed by contributors from the Meshtastic community.

Small design revisions may also be introduced over time to improve durability, assembly or functionality without changing the core product specification. ✓ The buyer is responsible for correct installation, safe operation and compliance with applicable local radio regulations. ✓ Damage resulting from incorrect mounting, improper installation, unauthorized modifications, incompatible accessories or operation outside the stated specifications is not covered. ✓ Radio range, mesh availability and successful message delivery depend on terrain, antenna placement, surrounding structures, interference, network configuration and the presence of other compatible nodes and cannot be guaranteed by the seller. ✓ Firmware: You can choose between Meshtastic™ and MeshCore™ when ordering. The node will be shipped with the selected firmware already installed and configured for the selected frequency. MeshCore repeaters do not support Bluetooth, and configuration is performed over the mesh network. 📦 What's in the Box Fully assembled Solar Meshtastic/MeshCore Node Genuine 5 dBi outdoor antenna Mounting kit (steel L-bracket, 2 plastic clamp mounts, 2 hose clamps 40–60 mm) USB-C cable User Manual
