RAK WisMesh Gateway
The WisMesh Gateway series extends the capabilities of Meshtastic by bridging off-grid mesh networks to MQTTMQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport). A lightweight messaging protocol designed for small sensors and mobile devices, enabling efficient data transmission in the Meshtastic network for Internet connectivity and integration with IoT platforms. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQTT. In Meshtastic, MQTT is used to connect a node to the internet, and can be used to connect multiple meshes to each other., or enabling real-time data exchange. Whether integrating sensor networks, linking multiple mesh regions, or expanding communication reach, these gateways provide a seamless way to connect Meshtastic to the cloud for greater flexibility and control.
