Mesh hardware built close to home.
No Bars Club highlights MeshSmith as a Connecticut-area builder producing hardware for portable, solar, rooftop, tower and fixed mesh deployments.
Boards and outdoor infrastructure.
Outpost
An aluminum outdoor enclosure platform for DIY builds and configurable solar deployments. Useful when you want a clean, repeatable weather-resistant installation.
Outdoor • Solar • Enclosure system
PiMesh-1W
A 1-watt LoRa Raspberry Pi HAT aimed at higher-power nodes, with optional GPS and PoE configurations. A natural fit for powered fixed sites and Raspberry Pi-based infrastructure.
1 W • Raspberry Pi • Optional PoE/GPS
Photon-1W
A compact 1-watt board for the XIAO MCU ecosystem. Its power architecture is designed to work with external regulated power and solar-management systems, making it flexible for custom deployments.
1 W • XIAO • Solar-ready architecture
EtherMesh-1W
A 1-watt ESP32-P4 Ethernet platform for fixed installations where wired networking and optional PoE matter — especially rooftops, masts and backbone sites.
1 W • Ethernet • Fixed installSoftware note: MeshSmith currently documents openHop use for EtherMesh-1W. Meshtastic support is listed as still in development, so verify current firmware support before buying for a specific network.
Build the whole installation.
MeshSmith also carries 915 MHz antennas, Outpost mounting and RF hardware, PoE modules, batteries, pigtails, vents and other parts useful for permanent mesh infrastructure.
Local hardware for local infrastructure.
For suitable Naugatuck Valley host sites, locally available fixed-install, PoE, enclosure and antenna hardware can be worth considering alongside the DIY builds and partner gear already documented by No Bars Club.
