T1000-E Mesh Node

Our flagship field unit is the SenseCap T1000-E — a compact, GPS-enabled LoRa tracker node built on the open Meshtastic platform. We deploy it pre-configured for mesh relay and trail tracking, so it works out of the box for guides, marshals, and SAR teams alike.

Form factor	Compact, pocket-sized, water-resistant enclosure
