Natak Mesh has launched the Nucleus V1 modular Mesh radio, designed to keep devices connected when traditional signals are unavailable. It combines Wi-Fi and LoRa capabilities, enabling encrypted WiFi mesh for communications and long-range connectivity. It supports various applications including ATAK, LAN messaging, Reticulum, Meshtastic, and TAKServer for enhanced functionality.
Natak Mesh states “Keeps phones, tablets, and laptops connected when cell towers and Wi-Fi aren’t around. Nucleus V1 runs both Wi-Fi and LoRa radios, giving you short-range speed and long-range reach in the same unit.
Out of the box Nucleus V1 creates an encrypted WiFi mesh for IP connectivity and to provide a pathway for the onboard Reticulum transport instance, plus a dedicated LoRa radio for Meshtastic. Share maps, chat, and ATAK data miles away without the internet.”
APPLICATIONS:
- ATAK – Works natively over the WiFi mesh, will automatically discover and communicate with other ATAK EUDs on the mesh network. Also can utilize the onboard Meshtastic radio for ATAK connectivity using the official Meshtastic ATAK plugin
- LAN Messaging – Applications such as Jami and Softros can provide communication over the IP network created by the Nucleus node
- Reticulum – The onboard transport instance allows Reticulum based applications to use the Nucleus’ WiFi and Ethernet interfaces to connect to other Reticulum enabled devices on the network independent of IP connections
- Meshtastic – Onboard node can act as a standalone Meshtastic node using the official Meshtastic application for long range, infrastructureless communication
- TAKServer – Each Nucleus comes with TAKServer installed along with MediaMTX to enable more ATAK functionality including video streaming. Can be configured as an option from the shop or be configured by the user
