RAKwireless Devices
RAKwireless offers a variety of Meshtastic-compatible hardware, including modular starter kits and ready-to-use prebuilt devices. The RAK Meshtastic Collection showcases both options, making it easy to find the right solution for your needs. If you're assembling a Meshtastic device using RAK hardware, the RAK Meshtastic Designer helps you select the right modules to match your use case.
RAK Wisblock
Modular hardware system with Base, Core and Peripheral modules including the low-power and solar ready nRF52840nRF52840A Nordic microcontroller from the nRF52 family, used in devices such as the RAK WisBlock core modules. Provides Bluetooth LE 5.0 and very low power consumption.-based Meshtastic Starter Kit (19007 & 4631).

RAK WisMesh
RAK WisMesh is a series of ready-to-use Meshtastic devices designed for seamless deployment. Unlike the WisBlock modular system, which allows users to build and customize their own devices, WisMesh devices provide pre-built, purpose-driven solutions that eliminate the need for assembly or additional configuration.
