muzi ᴡᴏʀᴋꜱ BASE System

muzi BASE System

The BASE System is muzi ᴡᴏʀᴋꜱ' modular Meshtastic development platform, designed for performance, reliability, and ultimate flexibility. Built from experience developing thousands of devices, the BASE System features custom core modules optimized for efficiency, next-gen base boards with extensive IO, and expandability via the IO board system. Both Base Uno and Base Duo are fully supported by Meshtastic through the Backer Program.

Base Uno​

The Base Uno is the entry-level board in the BASE System, featuring the Elecrow nRFLR1262 module with the Semtech SX1262SX1262A Semtech sub-GHz LoRa transceiver, used in most current Meshtastic hardware and recommended over the older SX127x series. LoRaLoRaA low-power, long-range wireless communication technology used by Meshtastic devices to enable communication over distances of several kilometers without the need for cellular, Wi-Fi, or other traditional network infrastructures. transceiver. It provides all the core functionality of the BASE System at an affordable price point.
