Meshtastic Group Order in Vancouver
DWeb Vancouver is doing a group buy of Meshtastic devices. Check out the two options, and come join us at the Z-Space Electronics Bazaar to see them in person.
The DWeb Vancouver crew has been experimenting with Meshtastic devices. This is an open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices.
We've been looking at them to experiment and learn with mesh communications, solar powered devices, and gathering sensor data. In the case of emergency, in and areas without cell access, you can keep in touch with people with short text messages.
Our plan is to do a bulk group order of devices, as well as installing two solar repeaters. One will be at Z-Space, the other at the CoFood Garden where one of our wifi nodes are.
Group Order
For the group order we have 2 really good options:
Rak Wireless WisMesh Pocket V2 $180
- Build-in screen to view messages
- Upgradable antenna
- Standard USB-C cable
- GPS included
Seeed Studio SenseCAP Tracker T1000-E $100
- Small form factor
- Custom mag-safe cable

All prices are in CAD and include tax and shipping. And: two solar repeaters!
Once the devices are delivered, we'll organize pick up and onboarding at Z-Space as we get things setup together.
