This is the node you mount and leave. It is the repeater role: it hears traffic and passes it on, which is what stretches a neighborhood mesh past a single backyard.
- RAK19007 WisBlock base, flashed with MeshCore or Meshtastic
- 2× 3500 mAh 18650 batteries. Roughly 30 days before counting on the sun
- 6 W monocrystalline ETFE panel
- DFRobot 5 V MPPT charge controller, plus a low-voltage cutoff so the radio restarts cleanly when the light returns
- Fiberglass 5.8 dBi antenna, typically under 1.3:1 SWR
It is aimed at roofs, barns, and other places with a view of the sky. Made to order, allow 10–14 days.
