Speaker 1: The top six new mesh Tastic nodes coming into twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. Six nodes that have either recently been announced,
Speaker 1: are fairly new, or maybe they're just coming and you
Speaker 1: haven't seen them yet. We're going to talk about them today.
Speaker 1: This is a list of six different Meshtastic nodes that
Speaker 1: are fairly new coming into twenty twenty six that these
Speaker 1: didn't exist this time last year, and we're going to
Speaker 1: talk about them today. These are in no particular order
Speaker 1: at all. I just kind of put this list together
Speaker 1: with some nodes that I knew and did a little
Speaker 1: bit of research from a couple companies that have reached
Speaker 1: out to me, and we're just going to go through
Speaker 1: these today. Now. This Helltech V two has been around
Speaker 1: for several years. One of the first nodes that we
Speaker 1: got when we first got into Meshtastic. There was a
Speaker 1: group of us that went to hamventionin two or three
Speaker 1: four years ago and we all had Helltech V twos. Well,
Speaker 1: this is the V three. This is a brand new
Speaker 1: ESP thirty two Laura Device V three development board. This
Speaker 1: particular one on Amazon comes with an eleven hundred million
Speaker 1: Empire battery and a protective case so you can get
Speaker 1: these in all kinds of configurations. One of the websites
Speaker 1: we're going to mention today is this mechnology over here,
Speaker 1: and they have several expansion kits that you can take
Speaker 1: a Helltech V three and insert it in at a
Speaker 1: larger battery, at a screen, at a touchscreen. Add this,
Speaker 1: add that a lot of expansion going on with the
Speaker 1: Helltech V three. So the V three is the new
Speaker 1: version over the V two from last year. It is
Speaker 1: tried and true, is very simple. There's not much to it.
Speaker 1: You do have to have an app on your phone
Speaker 1: to Bluetooth to it or Wi Fi connect to it
Speaker 1: and control it from there. Doesn't have its own touchscreen
Speaker 1: or a keypad or anything like that, so if you
Speaker 1: want to send messages you have to use an external device.
Speaker 1: But the Helltech V three is the first one on
Speaker 1: the list today. Number two. Let's go back over here
Speaker 1: to meschnology mechnology dot com and been trading emails with them.
Speaker 1: They're going to send me some new things fairly soon.
Speaker 1: This is a think Node M four. Now. I did
Speaker 1: a video last month about the think Node M one
Speaker 1: and M two from Ellacro and I'm not sure who
Speaker 1: actually owns the think node, but this one comes from
Speaker 1: a mesh pocket Mechnology think node Laurawan device powered by
Speaker 1: the NRF chip, which means it's a longer lasting battery.
Speaker 1: You can see it's got multiple connection points right there
Speaker 1: for different various charging points and computer interfaces. Okay, no screen,
Speaker 1: no keyboard, so again you need an external app to
Speaker 1: use the device effectively. Comes in about seventy four dollars today,
Speaker 1: and that's for Meschronology. Mechronology has some of those products
Speaker 1: I was telling you about for the V three. If
Speaker 1: you come over here to the hell Tech V three,
Speaker 1: which they sell also, they make these expansion packs. This
Speaker 1: guy right here, this is just a big three D
Speaker 1: printed case with that houses an extra battery. It is
Speaker 1: for the Helltech V three, And they have this really
Speaker 1: cool looking one right here that's like a handheld looks
Speaker 1: like a handheld touch screen device. But if you look
Speaker 1: down in here in some of the pictures, all they're
Speaker 1: doing is they're putting a hell Tech board inside of
Speaker 1: this with a rapid expansion pack, external antenna, lots of
Speaker 1: cool stuff on that. So Mechronology's got some cool ideas
Speaker 1: that they're going on right now. But we were today
Speaker 1: talking about their think Node M four. That's the one
Speaker 1: on today's list because this is a fairly new model.
Speaker 1: Going over here to Spec five. Spec five is a
Speaker 1: tech this is based company. Been down to their place
Speaker 1: one time and I've got several devices of theirs. Really
Speaker 1: like their devices. This one's actually the most expensive one
Speaker 1: on the docket today. This one comes in about I
Speaker 1: wonder why they charge more for the great case about
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars here. This includes a full Android phone,
Speaker 1: a complete Android phone. You can put a simcard in
Speaker 1: or not. You can connect it via Wi Fi. You
Speaker 1: can connect it to the App store, download any app
Speaker 1: that you would use on a regular Android smartphone, and
Speaker 1: it comes with the meshtastic built into this. Three DA
Speaker 1: cas is called a Spector Pro. I had one of
Speaker 1: their original specters, did a video on that a while back.
Speaker 1: It's a very very small phone. This one is a
Speaker 1: larger phone. I picked up one of these. You're going
Speaker 1: to be seeing an independent video about it soon. You
Speaker 1: can get five dollars off right there. But this Spector
Speaker 1: Pro is great because it is a standalone device. You
Speaker 1: don't need anything else. It's got its own Android device.
Speaker 1: You can download and install mode win Link for Android.
Speaker 1: You can install aprs, you can install anything else that
Speaker 1: you can get from the Android play Store, or any
Speaker 1: APK file you want to. Because it's a full Android
Speaker 1: phone and Android system, you could put a SIM card
Speaker 1: in it, make phone calls on it if you really
Speaker 1: wanted to. A Spec five Spector Pro is a cool
Speaker 1: new device. I'd like to see more devices like this
Speaker 1: upcoming in the future. I'd like to see one that
Speaker 1: is completely de Googled and separated from Google. Maybe we'll
Speaker 1: see something like that in the future. Today's video doesn't
Speaker 1: have an official sponsor, but I keep a lot of
Speaker 1: these items on my Amazon mesh Tastic Idea list, So
Speaker 1: all of the devices that you can get on Amazon
Speaker 1: are going to be on my list, including the new
Speaker 1: Helltech V three, So go check that out with the
Speaker 1: link in the description. Blow. I appreciate you using those
Speaker 1: Amazon links because they do help to support the channel.
Speaker 1: Next is a new one from Seed Studio. Now. Seed
Speaker 1: Studio makes this really cool T one thousand Echo. I
Speaker 1: carry this with me every day to this day. Every
Speaker 1: day I have it in my pocket. It's called KC
Speaker 1: five HBP Pocket. That is the mesh name of the
Speaker 1: node for it. And they've got a new version coming
Speaker 1: out soon. Looking forward to trying that. We're going to
Speaker 1: look for at another version from another company here in
Speaker 1: a second. But this is the WEO Tracker L one Pro.
Speaker 1: It's a low power scalable node featuring the Laura device
Speaker 1: and an NRF chip as well. The NRF chip is
Speaker 1: a much longer battery life than the older ESP thirty
Speaker 1: two chip. ESP thirty two chip is great, nothing in
Speaker 1: the world wrong with it, but the NRF chip is
Speaker 1: a little bit updated, longer battery life and you're going
Speaker 1: to be seeing that in a lot of new devices upcoming.
Speaker 1: This one comes in at about forty eight bucks today.
Speaker 1: It's gone an OLED and an l seventy six kgps,
Speaker 1: two thousand million power built in battery lasts up to
Speaker 1: five days, and it's a really cool device from Seed Studios.
Speaker 1: Seed Studios has been doing some really great stuff and
Speaker 1: meshtastic and I'm looking forward to seeing what else they
Speaker 1: do in twenty twenty six. Number five today comes from
Speaker 1: Rack Wireless. Rack Wireless has a couple of new one
Speaker 1: watt devices that are not out yet. They emailed me
Speaker 1: they said do you want to review these? And I
Speaker 1: said absolutely, so I should be getting these soon. You'll
Speaker 1: see some videos on that upcoming. The Wizmesh high power
Speaker 1: one watt gateway based on a Raspberry Pie and the
Speaker 1: Rack thirteen three oh two one watt module for Laura connectivity.
Speaker 1: So most of these mesh tastic devices are probably a
Speaker 1: few hundred milliwats, maybe two three hundred milliwats, maybe even
Speaker 1: fifty to one hundred milliwats for the smaller ones. So
Speaker 1: having a one watt device will reach out farther, it
Speaker 1: will be more scalable because you'll be able to cover
Speaker 1: a wider area with it. And I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: seeing how well those work, especially with an external antenna
Speaker 1: or a high gain antenna that you might keep on
Speaker 1: your vehicles something like that. So check out Rack Wireless.
Speaker 1: They are setting me up with a new coupon that
Speaker 1: I don't have yet, so as soon as I get
Speaker 1: that information, i'll put it in the description of this
Speaker 1: video and you guys can go check that out. Last
Speaker 1: one we're going to talk about today is this low
Speaker 1: mesh pocket s Solar Node Comms Channel did a short
Speaker 1: video about this. It looks a lot like this T
Speaker 1: one thousand Echo node. Seed Studios and Rack Wireless has
Speaker 1: one too. They call it the whiz Mesh Tag. They
Speaker 1: call it a tag looks a lot like the Seed
Speaker 1: Studios T one thousand, but I believe it has a
Speaker 1: longer battery life in it, or maybe a larger battery
Speaker 1: or just a longer battery life than the original Seed
Speaker 1: Studios one does too, So I'm gonna be picking up
Speaker 1: one of those soon. But this one has a solar
Speaker 1: pin built onto it. Now, the solar panel's small, probably
Speaker 1: not going to give you a lot of extra battery life,
Speaker 1: but hey, something is better than nothing. So you got
Speaker 1: a little solar panel, you can connect it to your backpack,
Speaker 1: you can set it out on the picnic table while
Speaker 1: you're out doing poda, and it can keep a charge
Speaker 1: or charge itself or at least maintain the same battery
Speaker 1: life while you've got mesh Tastic running in the field.
Speaker 1: So this is one that I just recently found. I
Speaker 1: don't really know much about it, so maybe I'll just
Speaker 1: have to grab one of these and do a video
Speaker 1: about it myself and see how it looks. So those
Speaker 1: are six newer or newish nodes. A couple of them
Speaker 1: aren't even out yet. For the meshtastic World. If you're
Speaker 1: watching this video six months from now, you're probably thinking, boy,
Speaker 1: there's been a probably thirty new nodes come out since
Speaker 1: these that was an old video. I bet we're going
Speaker 1: to see a lot of really cool new stuff from
Speaker 1: mesh Tastic come out this year during twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to checking out most or all of it,
Speaker 1: and I hope you will too. If you have anything
Speaker 1: that you have found that's new in the meshtastic world
Speaker 1: and you want me to take a look at it,
Speaker 1: put a comment in the video below. Love to know
Speaker 1: what you're using as your daily carry for mesh Tastic
Speaker 1: is Well. Thanks for being here today, and if you

Speaker 1: thinks you want to watch those next seventy three guys.
