Elecrow ThinkNode M9 Meshtastic Handheld Communicator
Ready-to-Use Meshtastic Handheld
The ThinkNode M9 is a standalone wireless communicator built into a phone-sized body with a full keyboard and display, skipping the usual step of pairing a phone to a separate LoRa radio over Bluetooth. Everything, communication, input, display, and positioning, lives in one device that comes pre-flashed with Meshtastic and ready to join a mesh network the moment it powers on.
