The Meshtastic repeaters ship with mounting brackets for wall or pole (70 to 100mm) mounting with screws, a LoRa antenna, an RP-SMA male to RP-SMA female cable, a USB Type-C cable, and a user manual. There’s no online documentation, so Seeed Studio might assume people know how to use Meshtastic, or the documentation is not ready just yet.

Feature

Note: 

SenseCAP Solar Node P1 is cost-effective and lacks the XIAO L76K GPS module and four 18650 batteries. But users can buy and install them independently.

For the model with positioning and batteries, opt for the SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro.

🌱Integrated with a 5W solar panel, and supports external batteries (which need to be provided by users themselves).

🌱The device comes pre-installed with Meshtastic firmware at the factory. It can be seamlessly integrated into the Meshtastic ecosystem.

🌱Compatible with the Grove ecosystem, and supports plug-and-play of sensors such as temperature and humidity sensors, light sensors, etc.

🌱It is suitable for long-term outdoor use.

🌱Supports 8 to 9KM Transmission in open areas. It can be used as an outdoor node or repeater, easily expanding the Mesh network and enhancing network coverage.Specification
