Summary
Mesh Node T096 is a low-power development board that integrates Bluetooth, LoRa, and GNSS. At
its core, the nRF52840MCU 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.

Highlight
1.Ultra-low power consumption
●Compared to the ESP32, the nRF has a more significant advantage inlow power consumption. Its
Bluetooth operating current is only 2-10mA, with a sleep current of 12 uA.
2.Rich Ecosystem
●Supports open-source projects such as Meshtastic and MeshCore. Provides an Arduino-based SDKwith
●examples forLoRa/LoRaWAN, GNSS, and more.
●Compatible with platforms like ESP32-IDF, PlatformlO, andMicroPython.
3.LDS Antenna
●The 2.4G and GNSS antennas default to LDS antennas, significantlyreducing the device size.
FAQ
1.GNSS data is displayed as ‘0,0,0’ ?
GNSS requires open outdoor environments or try with an external antenna.
2.How to enable the GNSS IPEX antenna interface?
The development board is connected to the LDS antenna by default. If you need to use the IPEX interface
to connect an external GNSS antenna, as shown in the figure below, move the resistor in the red box ①
half a grid to the position of the green box②.
