Mesh Node T096 is a low-power development board that integrates Bluetooth, LoRa, and GNSS. At its core, the nRF52840 MCU provides ample processing power and Bluetooth connectivity, while the SX1262 LoRa transceiver—integrated with PA—delivers transmit power of 28±1 dBm, ensuring exceptional range and link reliability. The UC6580 GNSS chip enables precise global positioning, making the device ideal for decentralized mesh networks, asset tracking, and remote sensing.
Utilizing Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) technology for both GNSS and Bluetooth antennas, the T096 achieves a compact, durable, and highly efficient antenna solution. Engineered for low-power operation, it is perfectly suited for battery-powered deployments. Fully supported by the Arduino development environment and compatible with open-source mesh projects such as Meshtastic and MeshCore, the Mesh Node T096 offers developers and enthusiasts a versatile, ready-to-use platform for building resilient, scalable mesh networks.

Dev board return policy
Development boards are specialty items that generally cannot be resold on return, especially if the firmware has been flashed. Defective boards can be replaced or returned for refund within 30 days of purchase. Non-defective boards can be returned in the same time frame if in like-new condition with a 20 percent restocking fee applied. If the board has had altered firmware or became bricked due to a non-standard firmware flash, the board may not be eligible for return.
Sales tax is required in many states and will be added at checkout if applicable to your delivery state. Tax exempt forms can be sent to our support department.

Returns
See item description for product specific return policies, and return policies vary by item.
Bulk/High Value Order Returns
Due to the labour required to package and ship bulk orders, as well as cost and stock issues involved in replenishing items, bulk orders of 5 pieces or more are not returnable unless the equipment is defective or mis-advertised, or a return period is pre-negotiated. For non-defective returns over $500, a restocking fee may be deducted from the refund to cover bank or card processing fees.
Backorder/Preorder
Items on back order or pre-order will ship as estimated on the item page. You can cancel an order any time up until shipment. Orders with expedited shipping will arrive in the advertised time after the order ships, not after the order is placed.
Cancellations
If you want to cancel an order, please email or call us at (352) 372-9902. If your item has not been shipped, we will cancel the order and provide a full refund.
