Love the quality build of the case. Battery is good too…lasts a full week. Definitely considering buying another one for the family.
I've tried numerous Meshtastic/Meshcore devices and this one is the best I have tried. It's solildly built, the 3D printing is as good as it gets (do a lot myself) and the internal components are very power efficient. The RAK board inside just works perfectly and really gets out if you have a good antenna. I liked the case so much that I ordered two more and rehomed two RAK boards to this nicer case.
Awesome customer support during ordering. Ordered mine flashed with MeshCore. Added my information and was on the air in no time. I’ve run it as a repeater and as companion node. Both work great.
Love the little m1 - immediately bought two more DIY kits for me and my friends - even picked up the beacon solar node - rugged, simple, but very refined product design
Well made, rugged case with quality RAK components - paired with the Gizont whip antenna it makes for a great everyday radio. The alpha-numeric dice identifiers make managing a group of radios a breeze.
Fast shipping and great packaging. Build quality is very good and the 3D printed case looks great. Worked right out of the box (don't forget to set your region!). I love it.
The Atlavox M1 is an incredible Meshtastic device. The 3D print of the two-part case is of the absolute highest quality, using a mixture of high temperature resistant materials like PLA-HT and PETG. The size in hand is really great, it feels solid for outdoor usage. The texture, colors, and shape are very well thought through -- and the lack of a screen is actually a big plus (I prefer to avoid screen dust and handle Meshtastic device interactions via iPhone App). Opening up the case reveals a fantastic layout of internal RAK components, clearly very self-servicable and room to add additional modules. Atlavox has done a wonderful job with the M1!
The Atlavox M1 is a great little device for the first time Meshtastic enthusiast. Altavox provides great service and fast shipping. Thank you.
Very easy to set up and use.
I only see my another node here, hence, I don’t know if this will be popular here at Japan or not…
I have one question: When I travel to other country, like Taiwan, do I really need to reset it from the beginning or not?..
I don’t know what else I can use when only see myself around me…><
Showed up as advertised and very protected by the packaging. The equipment functions as intended and is very user friendly. I already talked 3 of my buddies into buying some and bought a 2nd one for my wife.
I like how easy it is to use.
For those using Meshtastic, the Atlavox M1 offers a more polished take on what's often a DIY space. Having worked with several Meshtastic-capable devices, the M1 immediately stands out - not because it reinvents the radio, but because of the attention to detail and quality-of-life features that make it a joy to use.
Build & Design
The M1 features a 3D-printed body, but don't let that fool you - the design is clean, compact, and feels deliberate. It's small and lightweight, easily attachable to bags, straps, or gear thanks to the included band. Compared to more generic DIY enclosures or off-the-shelf cases, this feels like a device made with real-world usability in mind.
Modularity
One big win is its use of WisBlock by RAK accessory boards. These open up some nice modification options, especially for users who want to tinker or extend functionality beyond the basics. The modularity is a welcome touch for anyone building out a more complex mesh setup.
Clever, Visible Radio ID
This is subtle, but brilliant: the M1 includes a configurable, visible radio ID (alphanumeric) visible on the side. If you've worked with multiple Meshtastic nodes, you know how tricky it is to keep track of which device is which, especially when connecting via Bluetooth. When managing several radios, this is the only one you can instantly identify at a glance.
Packaging & Unboxing
Another area where Atlavox goes above the norm: the packaging. Instead of feeling like a random warehouse pick-and-ship, this arrives more like a cared-for product. Inside the box you'll find an Allen key, USB-C cable, antenna, QR codes for setup, and even a sticker noting the inspection/test date. It's subtle, but the presentation shows someone took time to make this a polished experience.
Performance
Setup went smoothly, and everything powered on and linked up with the Meshtastic app. It comes pre-flashed and ready to go. I haven't yet conducted extended range or battery life testing, but initial performance is promising.
Value
At competitive pricing for the Meshtastic space, the M1 delivers exceptional value through its thoughtful design choices and quality presentation.
Final Thoughts
If you're new to or deep into the Meshtastic ecosystem and want something more refined than the usual DIY build, the Atlavox M1 is worth a serious look. It balances form, function, and modularity, and feels like it was made by someone who actually uses this stuff. Thoughtful design choices - especially the radio ID and the practical attachment strap - make it a standout.
This is my second radio from Atlavox, my first purchase was the Beacon. I'm very impressed with the attention to detail and designs that Atlavox uses. Shipping was very fast and everything is packaged well. Can't be happier with my purchases. Thanks!
I absolutely love everything about this M1 device. I needed something rugged and strong for my work environment and this device fits the bill perfectly. I charge it once a week and it can probably go longer. I will be a return customer, Great company.
This is a great product right out of the box. With just a few step you are up and running. I got mine with GPS and the temperature chips. It came to me with both chips per installed ready to go. I liked the quality so much I ordered the Becon repeater. Can't wait to get more from this company in the future.
Purchased the Altavox M1 Complete Radio. Setup was very easy. Radio is designed and executed very well. I would highly recommend this radio if you’re looking for an all in one gateway into Mesh Networking.
I’ve searched all over for a sharp looking case. This is the only case that I’ve seen that you can tell time and energy was spent making it professional looking. The on/off switch is great and having a spot built in for the GPS antenna was a must for me. This case checks all the boxes. I was hesitant at first to purchase from Atlavox since it appeared like just another 3d printed case, but I took the chance and I’m glad I did. I will definitely purchase from Atlavox in the future. I really want a Beacon now but can’t justify the cost yet.
The Meshtastic Altavox M1 impresses right out of the box with its remarkably simple setup. Forget complicated configurations – this device comes pre-configured, making it incredibly user-friendly. All it takes is downloading the Meshtastic app, entering the provided PIN, and you're instantly connected and ready to explore the world of decentralized communication. This plug-and-play experience is a huge plus for anyone new to mesh networking or those who simply appreciate a hassle-free setup process. If you're looking for a Meshtastic device that gets you up and running quickly, the Altavox M1 is definitely worth considering.
I had already purchased two (2) RAK starter kits some time ago in an attempt to build my own units to do testing for a group of friends, but the cases were not the best fit, and required much work to function to the level i was looking for. The M1 kit is superb and was the perfect setup to get my project back on track. It is very clear that much thought was factored into the design and care was taken to ensure a top notch fit and finish. The ability to quickly identify the unit through the marking system is paramount when managing multiple units and matching smart devices. I will certainly be ordering more products in the future simply because the company took a minute to think about what the customer wants!!!
