Buying Guide
Choose the right path before checkout.
Complex mesh hardware is easier to buy when product paths, setup help, and reassurance are separated before checkout.
New deployment
Start with the configured lantern
Choose RAK4631, RAK 1W, Heltec V4, or Photon-1W from the main product page before adding to cart.
Compare proof
Check live deployed nodes
Open public Boston Mesh deployment links and inspect PEERs behavior on the external live map.
Plan placement
Read field deployment notes
Review solar recovery, maintenance access, battery reserve, and antenna geometry tradeoffs before picking a site.
Repair path
Order visible service parts
Replacement enclosure, top hook, and solar panel assembly SKUs keep field installs repairable.
What It Is
One outdoor shell. Four radio paths.
The lantern body, solar face, hanging loop, antenna mount, and service access stay consistent. The selected radio card controls the board stack, power support, stock, and price.
Built for fixed outdoor repeater points around homes, yards, trails, and campsites.
Neighborhood repeater points
Add a fixed hop between handheld nodes across houses, yards, and shared outdoor spaces.
Property and trail edges
Mount a solar repeater at a fence line, trail entrance, campsite, or other spot that needs to stay online.
Radio path selected at checkout
Choose RAK4631 for lower draw, RAK 1W for transmit headroom, Heltec V4 for ESP32-S3 development, or Photon-1W for compact 30 dBm hardware.
Product Photos
Exterior, mount, and internals.
See the hanging body, mount, solar profile, and accessible internals before choosing a radio option.
Outdoor mount
Lantern body in place
A fixed repeater needs sun, clearance, and a spot that can be checked later.
Radio options
Internals change by selected radio
RAK4631, RAK 1W, Heltec V4, and Photon-1W share the same exterior service story.
Build Notes
SKU structure for fixed outdoor service.
The main tradeoffs are radio draw, transmit headroom, antenna position, solar exposure, and whether a field repair needs a replacement part instead of a full unit.
One shell, four radio paths
The main SKU is the configurable lantern. The selected radio card controls the internal board stack, price, stock, and power support while the exterior stays consistent.
Replacement parts stay visible
The antenna enclosure, top hook, and solar panel assembly are listed separately so fixed outdoor deployments can be repaired instead of replaced wholesale.

Questions
Direct answers before checkout.
Does it ship with MeshCore installed?
Yes. The repeater lantern ships with MeshCore installed so setup can focus on placement, power, and configuration.
What changes between radio options?
The lantern shell, solar face, hanging loop, antenna mount, and service access stay consistent. The selected radio option changes the board stack, price, stock, and power support.
Which radio options are shown?
The selector currently shows RAK4631, RAK 1W, Heltec V4, and MeshSmith Photon-1W as separate build cards with price and stock shown by option.
Why use a fixed antenna setup?
A fixed outdoor repeater works best when the antenna position stays repeatable. That makes placement easier to test and maintain.
Is the enclosure fully repairable?
Yes. The enclosure can be opened for inspection, wiring checks, and battery service.
