    Atlavox Beacon

    The Atlavox Beacon is a solar-powered, long-range mesh node designed for off-grid adventurers, emergency responders, and the prepared. Deploy it anywhere, from mountaintops to backyards, and create a redundant line of communication when phones and internet fail. Compatible with Meshtastic™ and MeshCore™. (Meshtastic™ installed by default, don't worry, you can flash either one yourself at any time.)

    Automatically routes messages between your handheld radios to build redundancy and resilience to your mesh. Communicate further with more reliability.

    How it Works

    The Atlavox Beacon is a LoRa mesh radio that lets you send text and data without cell towers or internet.

    • Send encrypted messages to other Meshtastic™ radios by pairing your phone over Bluetooth with the free Meshtastic™ app.
    • Place it in a remote location as a stand-alone repeater to pass messages between your other radios.

    Solar Powered

    Powered by the sun with 24/7 uptime. Oversized 5w solar panel and 5,000mAh LiPo battery power the super efficient RAK 19007 WisBlock radio. Less than an hour of sunlight per day is needed to keep the battery charged, with plenty of capacity to carry you through extended stormy days with no sun. For convenience, you can also charge the battery via the waterproof USB-C connector when not deployed.

    SPECIFICATIONS

    Powered by RAK WisBlock 

    Preinstalled, flashed with the latest Meshtastic stable firmware RAK19007 WisBlock with RAK4631 Core radio. A reliable and power-efficient Meshtastic radio for solar node deployment. Configurable for either 868-915MHz. 

    5,000mAh Lithium Polymer Battery

    Integrated battery protection circuit

    • Overcharge voltage: 4.28V
    • Overdischarge voltage: 3.0V
    • Overcurrent: 2000mA
    • Short Circuit protection
    • Over-Temperature protection

    Mounting Options

    Plenty of flexibility on where you can install the Atlavox Beacon.(Mounting Hardware sold separately.) They include:

    • Vertical pole/mast/tower mount U-Bolt slots (Up to 5/16" U-Bolts)
    • Horizontal pole/railing mount U-Bolt slots (Up to 5/16" U-Bolts)
    • Unistrut mount with slots or bolt holes
    • Tree/column/post mount with 1" webbing strap slots
    • Large tree mount with 3" ratchet strap
    • Wall mount with (4) 1/4" holes for bolts
    • Wall mount with (4) 3/16" holes for screws
    • Vehicle mount with magnet mounts (not included)
    • Roof mount under shingle
    • Screw/nail mount using tear drop hole
    • Table top rest with adjustable solar angle

    Security

    Mountiple lock holes allow you to padlock or cable lock the Beacon in either the opened or closed position. If wall mounted, locking it in the closed position prevents mounting bolts/screws from being accessed. Prevent the Beacon from being opened, or secure it around a tree, pole, or attach safety wire for peace of mind.

    Antenna Rail

    270° of adjustment keeps your antennas vertical in a wide variety of mounting positions. The rail is laser cut with (1) N-type bulkhead cutout, (2) SMA bulkhead cutouts on top, and one SMA cutout on each side of the rail, giving you a variety of options for mounting different antennas for LoRa, BLE, GPS, or other custom sensor systems.

    Antenna Rail can be mounted on either top or bottom edge of solar panel frame, for even more flexibility and configuration.(Antennas over 12" are recommended to be mounted separately.)

    5V, 5W ETFE Solar Panel

    Charges the battery using the WisBlock's onboard charging circuit. The solar panel can pivot 180° from the mounting plate, enabling you to position the panel exactly where you need it to achieve optimal solar exposure.

    Aluminum Powder-Coated Frame

    Laser cut, bent, powder coated, and assembled in Rhode Island. Intended for extended outdoor deployment, the frame will never rust and will provide years of durability in the elements. Collapses down for transport/storage without removing antennas. 180° adjustment on solar panel and 270° adjustment on antenna rail. 

    Aluminum Enclosure

    IP67 rated, anodized, custom CNC holes, imported from custom manufacturer in China. It includes a USB-C port, power switch, LED indicators, two SMA antenna connectors, a cable gland for the solar power cable input, and a pressure equalization vent. 

    Enclosure Vent

    The installed IP-68 Amphenol Enclosure Vent allows your enclosure to breathe and equalize pressure with the environment, which prevents gasket blow-out and condensation build-up.

    Thermal separation

    Enclosure is suspended away from the solar panel to prevent overheating and provide space for optional insulation.

    Measurements

    • Programmed with a custom private encrypted primary channel unique to your customer profile. This enables precise automated telemetry data.
    • Public channel moved to a secondary channel, so you can still talk on the public mesh if desired.
    • When you buy multiple radios from Atlavox, all radios in your order will share your custom private primary channel key. You'll have your entire private, encrypted mesh configured out of the box.
