Elecrow ThinkNode M6 Outdoor Solar Power for Meshtastic
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.

Important Notice:
- Inventory Status: Please check the inventory status on the product page. Our system displays real-time stock for our Munich and Long Beach warehouses. If an item is out of stock in these locations, it will be marked as "Pre-order". You can still place an order for these items.
- Pre-order Fulfillment: For "Pre-order" items, we arrange the most efficient logistics solution to ensure you receive your goods as quickly as possible. Your package may be shipped directly from our Shenzhen warehouse. Alternatively, as part of our standard restocking process, we may transport the goods to our Munich or Long Beach warehouse first (typically taking 5-10 business days) before dispatching them to you.
- Split Shipments: If your order contains both in-stock and Pre-order items, we will prioritize shipping the in-stock items from the local warehouse immediately. The remaining Pre-order items will be sent to you in a separate shipment once they are ready.
3. International Warehouse
Our products are stored in our Munich, Long Beach, and Shenzhen warehouses to provide more flexible logistics solutions tailored to different regions and customer needs. On each product's description page, we indicate the specific warehouse location to help you better plan your purchase and delivery schedule.
3.1 German Warehouse
For products stored in our warehouse in Munich, we use either Deutsche Post or DHL for shipping, depending on the size of the package. Logistics within Germany are very efficient, with an estimated delivery time of 2-4 business days, ensuring you receive your order quickly and conveniently. For Western EU countries, the estimated delivery time is 4-6 business days. For Eastern EU countries, the estimated delivery time is 6-8 business days.

3.3 Chinese Warehouse
For Pre-order items or orders fulfilled directly from our Shenzhen warehouse, we utilize YunExpress for reliable international shipping. Given the complexities of international shipping, the estimated delivery time for these packages is around 10 business days, though this may vary slightly due to customs processes or other uncontrollable factors. Otherwise, products will be restocked to our Munich or US warehouses before final delivery, as detailed in the "Important Notice" above.
