Designed for Meshtastic, MeshCore, and LoRaWAN, with Bluetooth 5 and BLE Mesh connectivity, this Heltec T096 build is portable, rugged, and ready to go straight out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with the Alley Cat + MakerNova protective case system, the Heltec T096 becomes a reliable, field-ready communicator, and thanks to the nRF52840's ultra-low-power design (sleep current as low as 12 µA), it's built to stretch runtime well beyond a typical Wi-Fi-equipped mesh node.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"las la-check-circle\"
