RAKwireless launches compact WisMesh Tag, offering dependable GPS tracking, mesh messaging, and integration with IoT networks.
The WisMesh Tag, a new small tracker from Italian IoT specialist RAKwireless, is designed for the community-based Meshtastic mesh LoRa network. With the goal to offer dependable performance for mesh messaging and outside location tracking, the device is positioned as a direct competitor to Seed Studio's SenseCap Card Tracker T1000-E. The WisMesh Tag is a lightweight, available option for Meshtastic users who want an accurate and simple to use tracking gadget, according to RAKwireless.
The T1000-E's 700 mAh battery and IP65 rating are beaten by the tracker's 1,000 mAh battery, IP66 waterproof rating, and easily accessible buttons for firmware updates and device reset. In order to improve user involvement in the field, RAKwireless also offers a better sensory interface and quicker GPS acquisition. Both trackers operate as completely passive nodes that are responsible for sending messages that have been written with a button press, forwarding messages throughout the mesh, and sending location data at user-configurable intervals.
In addition, users can use the Meshtastic software to allow full two-way communication by connecting either device with a host device through Bluetooth. The WisMesh Tag offers two to three days of continuous tracked activity, although the manufacturer warns that actual performance is only slightly longer than that of its competition despite the larger battery. The optional keychain holder is offered separately for $5, and the WisMesh Tag costs $39.
RAKwireless aims to improve the chances of Meshtastic's user base by integrating location tracking and communications on a strong, lightweight platform. RAKwireless sees trackers like the WisMesh Tag integrating with smart city grids, independent drones, and next-generation wearable networks to create an intelligent, self-healing mesh of linked devices.
