Mounting Options give you 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

- Tamper/Anti-theft holes allow you to padlock or cable lock the Beacon in either the opened or closed position.
- Antenna Rail with 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 and (2) SMA bulkhead cutouts, 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 connects to the WisBlock and uses the WisBlock's onboard charging circuit to charge the battery. 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 is laser cut and manufactured in Ohio, and powder coated in Rhode Island. Intended for extended outdoor deployment, the frame with never rust and will provide years of durability in the elements. Collapse down for transport/storage. 180° adjustment on solar panel and 270° adjustment on Antenna Rail.
- Aluminum Enclosure is IP67 rated, custom made in China. It includes a USB port, power switch, LED indicators, two SMA antenna connectors, a cable gland for the solar power cable input, and a pressure equalization vent.
- Thermal separation between enclosure and frame to prevent overheating and provide space for insulation.

Atlavox has done a very nice job to package the MESHTASTIC components and we are in process of deploying 11 of these devices around our County to establish a baseline MESH for use by the public and 1st Responders. Atlavox worked with us on our spec and relatively large order. We will be deploying these devices over the next 2-3 weeks. Initial results with (3) of these up in the air around 50' has provided excellent coverage to the center part of our county.
I've been using Lora/Mesh for a bit. Through that time I've used a few different types and brand of nodes. Atlavox, HANDS DOWN, is the best node I've purchased. Hell, it's better than anything I've created! So far this thing is an absolute beast of a node. Great signal, great piece of gear, and absolutely top notch. Thank you for making such an attention to detail as well.
Well thought out product. Quality parts. Only been running a few days but battery and solar seem perfect. Expect it to last a long time and be trouble free.
High quality build with an emphasis on attention to detail. I am very pleased with this product. Packaging was excellent. Very easy to setup and implement.
An ultra high quality Meshtastic node that will add to the network. Placed up on the highest part of the roof with the most sunlight during the day it will be good to go with just monthly checks over this year.
