Mobiler MeshCore / Meshtastic Repeater
Print Profile(1)
Description
This compact MeshCore / Meshtastic Repeater is based on the XIAO nRF52840 in combination with the Wio-SX1262 LoRa module and was specifically developed as a portable solution for a temporary mesh communication infrastructure
Thanks to its robust design, flexible mounting options, and high energy autonomy, the system is ideal for outdoor applications, field tests, camping, or experimental mesh/LoRa networks
Technical Specifications
- Dimensions: 50 × 50 × 100 mm
- Weight: approx. 328 g (incl. batteries and antenna)
- Platform: XIAO nRF52840 & Wio-SX1262
- Power Supply: 2× 3000 mAh LiPo
- RF Connector: N-type jack
- Hardware-side battery disconnect via micro-mini self-locking switch
Construction & Features
Magnetic Mounting
A total of four high-performance magnets are integrated into the housing:
- 2× on the back
- 2× on the bottom
This allows the repeater to be flexibly attached to metallic surfaces – both vertically and horizontally
Cable Tie Mounting System
Additionally, the housing features three integrated fastening channels for secure mounting with cable ties. This allows the device to be easily attached to masts, railings, branches, or other support structures
Power Management & Long-Term Storage
An integrated micro-mini ON/OFF switch with self-locking completely disconnects the LiPo batteries from the electronics. This reduces quiescent currents to a minimum and enables very long storage without deep discharge
The two 3000 mAh LiPo cells enable operating times of over a month in continuous operation – depending on firmware, transmission power, and duty cycle
Antenna Integration
Thanks to the built-in N-type jack, the use of larger external antennas is easily possible. The mechanically robust connection is particularly suitable for portable outdoor setups
Flexible Positioning
The housing design also allows for upside-down hanging mounting, which opens up further application possibilities in the field
Typical Applications
- Temporary LoRa/Mesh Repeaters
- Outdoor & Camping Setups
- Mobile Communication Infrastructure
- Experimental Networks
- Field Tests & Range Measurements
- Emergency or Backup Communication
