My mistake is your savings. I ordered a RAK Wismesh Station and then I realized I did not need it, but it was too late to cancel the order. It has arrived and I have no use for it. I paid $169.99 for it. It can be yours for $140 plus shipping. It is brand new and never used.
You can read all about it on the RAK web site. It is a WisMesh Station, which is a Raspberry Pi-based Meshtastic station with 22 dBm radio. It is a 900MHz for US915-MHz and has a US Power Plug.
WisMesh Station is a ready-to-run Meshtastic gateway and base station built for fixed, always-on deployments. It combines Raspberry Pi 4 computing, LoRa mesh communication, local MQTT processing, and WisBlock expansion in one enclosed system, so users can deploy faster without assembling and configuring separate parts.
With pre-installed Meshtastic, Mosquitto, Node-RED, and Grafana, the system is ready for communication, monitoring, and local data handling out of the box. Support for GNSS and WisBlock sensor modules also makes it suitable for location-aware mesh infrastructure, environmental monitoring, and custom gateway deployments.
WisMesh Station works as a fixed, always-on Meshtastic node in a LoRa mesh network. It receives and relays packets between nearby nodes to help extend coverage and improve network stability. With Raspberry Pi 4 and pre-installed Meshtastic, it also supports local MQTT processing and connected sensor data without relying on cloud services.
