Secure Mesh Nodes
Extend the range and resilience of your cluster by adding one or more nodes. After onboarding a new node (a few taps from the root device), it will automatically be sensed by your other devices and begin its role within your cluster. Nodes with displays can show recently broadcast messages.
Nodes can be mobile or permanently mounted to function as a base station. A node in your car or on your backpack can be quite an effective cluster extender.
GPS Node
Extremely portable, easily strapped to a backpack, sat in a window, or wherever.
Great for a mobile or fixed base station. Run it off the battery or leave it plugged in and forget about it (~24 hours per charge)
Same-cluster communicators can see their own position relative to this node, assuming they have direct or mesh connectivity
Enclosure allows for easily attaching via straps (velcro/etc)
External SMA connection allows easy antenna swapping
Included antenna can reach communicators and nodes miles away (tested in rural conditions with extremely good line-of-sight)

Mini Node
Small and efficient, yet still extremely capable.
Makes a great mobile or fixed base station. For a fixed base station, you can leave it plugged in and forget about it (~ 2 days per charge)
Saves power by utilizing an onboard high precision realtime clock instead of GPS (no GPS in this unit)
Excellent time source for other nodes and communicators
Enclosure allows for easily attaching via straps (velcro/etc)
External SMA connection allows easy antenna swapping

Weatherproof Solar-Assisted Node
Ready for wind, rain, (but hoping for sun). Take it with you as a portable range-extending node or use it as an indoor/outdoor base station.
IP67 Enclosure - Upgraded external antenna. Swap to your own antenna if you want (SMA).
Automatic solar charging when possible
Boost charge (or leave powered) any time via USB connection
Longer Battery Life - Huge 10,000 mAh battery, typically uses about 1% of capacity per hour without solar assistance
Removable ABS strap mount plate, so you can use velcro straps or other options to mount according to your needs.
Built on-demand, expect 1-2 weeks before shipping

Proximity Sensing Node
Sense (and optionally report) nearby motion
In addition to a proximity sensor, this is also a fully functional ChatterBox node
Utilizes doppler-based sensor, which can sense through some obstacles (not metal)
Tuned to sense motion up to 12 meters away
Integrated GPS/GNSS and optional secure location sharing
Can function as a base station or mobile station
Stores data/mesh pakets encrypted on included SD card
Rechargeable 18650 battery included
Upgraded whip antenna included
ABS enclosure
You will need to onboard this device into your cluster
Coming Soon
Proximity Sensing Base Station - Custom
Each component has been carefully selected specifically to run with ChatterBox firmware
Tuned to sense motion/presence up to 12 meters away
Fully functional as both a node and proximity sensor
No removable SD card, encrypted FRAM is utilized for increased stability and security
Temp-compensated realtime clock
5,000 mAh LiPo battery
