EU868 / US915 · No GPS · Bluetooth DFU

FILTER + PA BUILT IN

A 30S radio at the heart of the relay

The installed GAT562 30S module combines an nRF52840 controller and SX1262 LoRa radio with an SWR filter and power amplifier. Choose the EU868 or US915 hardware version for your deployment.

• 1W / 30dBm LoRa transmit output
• SWR filter + PA included
• Two top-mounted antennas: LoRa (20cm) and Bluetooth (10cm)
• No GPS / GNSS receiver in this version

Built for sites beyond mains power

The integrated 5W solar panel charges the built-in 5200mAh battery. Position the node where the panel receives clear sunlight and the LoRa antenna has a good view of the surrounding network.

The outdoor enclosure retains the IP65 design and tempered-glass panel surface of the solar platform.

Operating time depends on sunlight, temperature, radio settings and network traffic. Plan the energy budget for your installation.

ADVANCED BOOTLOADER ON BOARD

Fast, secure firmware updates over Bluetooth

The preinstalled advanced bootloader supports fast, secure Bluetooth DFU. Update compatible firmware through MTools BLE without connecting a USB data cable.

1. Power the node and keep your phone within Bluetooth range.
2. Open MTools BLE and follow the GAT562 30S DFU workflow.
3. Select firmware for the GAT562 30S hardware and keep power connected until the update completes.

Meshtastic and MeshCore are supported with compatible firmware. One firmware runs at a time; features depend on the installed build.

GAT562 30S solar node specifications

Choose a version. Test. Then mount.

1. Choose EU868 or US915 for your region and the mesh you plan to join.
2. Configure compatible firmware, channel and repeater role; test radio operation and charging at ground level.
3. Mount securely in a sun-exposed location with a clear radio path. Keep both antennas attached before transmitting.

For internal servicing, disconnect solar and battery power before opening the unit. Check board polarity markings before reconnecting power; do not assume wiring matches older GAT562 boards.
