Product Overview Introducing the Spec5 Relay, a solar-powered Meshtastic LoRa Relay System, designed for seamless, autonomous operation as a relay station. This system is built for rugged, permanent installation on poles, buildings, or towers, ensuring reliable communication in remote areas or anywhere an expansive network is required.

Key Features Autonomous Operation: Operates as a relay station only. Connect a device via Bluetooth to update settings. A personal LoRa Meshtastic device (e.g., Spec5 Trekker, Spec5 Beacon, Spec5 Copilot, Spec5 MeshClip, Spec5 MiniTrekker) is required for Bluetooth tethering to your phone. Solar Powered: Powered by a 12 W solar panel and two 18650 LiPo batteries, our relay station operates indefinitely without intervention. The low-power consumption of the LoRa radio, combined with efficient solar charging, guarantees uninterrupted functionality in even the most challenging solar conditions. Long-Range Transmission: Equipped with a large antenna optimized for long-range transmission, our relay station extends coverage up to 10 miles with line of sight, facilitating robust connectivity across vast distances. Rugged and Weatherproof: The waterproof enclosure, complete with cable glands, safeguards the radio from harsh weather conditions while allowing seamless passage of wires. Use Case Scenario Imagine you have a small group of people all using personal Meshtastic LoRa devices to communicate in a 2-3 mile range. Now there’s another camp 10 miles away you’d like to connect with. If you erect a Spec5 Relay at each base camp, the relays will allow communication between camps without having to station smaller devices in between.

Deployment Effortlessly deploy our Spec5 Relay for dependable, self-sustaining communication infrastructure wherever it’s needed most.
