RAK WisMesh Pod

RAK WisMesh Pod

The WisMesh Pod (RAK10708) is a pocket-sized Meshtastic node with GNSSGNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). A multi-constellation satellite positioning receiver. Hardware listing GNSS support typically receives GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS and QZSS., a buzzer, and a 1000 mAh battery. It ships pre-flashed with Meshtastic firmware.
