Elecrow ThinkNode M7 Meshtastic Wireless Communication Gateway

The ThinkNode M7 is a high-performance gateway built on the ESP32-S3 module and LR1110 LoRa chip, adapted specifically for the LoRa protocol. Its Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor runs at up to 240MHz, giving it plenty of headroom for communication and data processing. It also integrates 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, and LoRa wide-area communication, supporting US 915MHz and EU 868MHz bands for different regions. The gateway has a compact design with a mounting base. Interfaces include a USB power/data port and a 100Mbps Ethernet port, and it supports PoE power. An external adhesive antenna extends signal coverage. The hardware and software are built around the Meshtastic protocol, with gateway functionality pre-installed, so it's ready to deploy as soon as it's powered on. It's a solid fit for indoor wireless deployments that need strong processing, wide signal coverage, and easy network access. Note: This is the Meshtastic version of the ThinkNode M7. A separate LoRaWAN version is also available, but the two firmware modes aren't interchangeable on one unit, so pick the version that matches your network.
