Mounted, powered, commissioned and written down
We install MeshCore repeaters on commercial and residential property. Roofs, masts, outbuildings, poles and towers — on solar where there is no mains, on PoE where there is, weatherproofed for the winter it will actually sit through.
What a deployment includes
Mounting
Roof, mast, pole, tower or outbuilding. Sited for the path the network needs rather than the spot that is easy to reach.
- Commercial and residential
- Height for line of sight
- Sealed penetrations
Power
Solar with battery where there is no mains, direct mains or PoE where there is. Sized for a Canadian December, not an average.
- Solar and battery sizing
- Mains and PoE
- Winter-margin budgets
Weatherproofing
Enclosures, gasketing, drip loops and grounding. The failures we see in the field are water and lightning, in that order.
- Sealed enclosures
- Surge and grounding
- Cable management
Commissioning
Every node brought up, joined, and tested against the paths it is meant to carry — before we leave the site, not after.
- Link verification
- Path testing
- Signed-off coverage
Documentation
A written map of what is where, how it is powered and how it is reached. Enough that somebody else could maintain it.
- Site and node map
- Power and mount detail
- Access and keys
Maintenance, if you want it
Scheduled checks, battery replacement and firmware updates. Optional — the network is yours and will run without a contract.
- Scheduled inspection
- Battery lifecycle
- Firmware updates
Solar, where the power does not go
Most of the interesting places for a repeater have no mains supply — a ridge, a barn roof, a pole at the end of a property. Solar makes those sites possible, and it is also where deployments most often fail, because the panel was sized for an average rather than for the worst week of the year.
We size for a Canadian December: short days, snow on the panel, cold batteries. A node that survives that survives everything else.
- Panel and battery sized for winter, with the margin written down
- Low-temperature battery chemistry where the site needs it
- Tilt and orientation set for the worst month, not the best
- Remote health reporting, so a fading node is noticed before it dies
Somewhere on your property that needs to reach further
Send us the address and a rough idea of what has to talk to what. We will tell you whether it is a one-repeater job or something bigger.
