The ThinkNode M6 Outdoor Solar Power is a high-performance Meshtastic IoT device designed specifically for harsh outdoor environments and industrial applications.
It features the nRFLR1262 LoRa transceiver module and the nRF52840 core processor, supporting Bluetooth and LoRa dual-mode connectivity to ensure stable signal coverage. Equipped with a 6W solar charger and two 18650 batteries, it offers reliable all-weather operation. Its IP65 waterproof housing allows operation in extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C. It offers flexible mounting options, including wall mounting, brackets, pole mounting, and U-shaped clamps.
ThinkNode M6 comes with dual SP11 waterproof aviation connectors and supports long-range communication, precise positioning, and low-power operation. It is ready for out-of-the-box use and rapid deployment, making it ideal for Meshtastic network expansion, remote monitoring, outdoor emergency response, and off-grid communications, especially in remote areas with limited network access.
