The Atlavox M1 has some unique design choices that may make it the best Meshtastic radio option if you need to manage a fleet of devices. Let's find out!
Besides being really well designed and printed, the case has a unique indexing capability that allows you to identify each device cleanly and without worry that an added label or piece of tape could come off.
The design also sports a quality on-off switch and multiple tethering options. This device does not have a display which may be a concern for some. From my perspective, a screen provides minimal value and I would prefer to have a longer battery life for the support of a GPS.
Yes, you can pull the GPS from your phone. However, I prefer to have stand along GPS and I show how to add the RAK12500 GNSS GPS Location Module.
