WisMesh Repeater – Reliable Meshtastic Repeater for Challenging Environments

WisMesh Repeater – Reliable Solar Repeater for Meshtastic Networks

The WisMesh Repeater is the ready-to-use Meshtastic Solar repeater to enlarge the range of the Meshtastic LoRa Mesh network. The combination with our Universal Solar Battery Lite allows the deployment in areas with no permanent power supply available.

Built as an IP67-rated device with a durable enclosure and IP67 connectors, the WisMesh Repeater paired with the Universal Solar Battery Lite is ideal for outdoor deployments. It supports both wall and pole mounting, similar to the WisMesh Hub Mini.

If you want to use your own Solar Panel, battery, and charger solution, the WisMesh Repeater accepts an input voltage between 5 to 16V DC. Please note:

• It is required to use a charger with a regulated 12V output.
• We cannot guarantee the performance of the system.
• We cannot be held responsible for any malfunctions of the WisMesh Repeater, such as issues arising from a cold start with an empty battery.

FAQs

What makes the WisMesh Repeater different from the WisMesh Pocket Mini?
The WisMesh Repeater is designed for professionals and long-term deployments, featuring a larger battery (5.2Ah), external solar panel support, and compatibility with custom power setups.

Can I use my own solar panel and battery with the WisMesh Repeater?
Yes, you can use third-party solar panels and batteries, but the performance is not guaranteed, and cold starts from an empty battery may cause issues.
