Elecrow ThinkNode M9 is a standalone LoRa terminal that runs MeshCore firmware and features a QWERTY keyboard, color display, GPS, LoRa connectivity, and a 2,300mAh battery, making it suitable for outdoor and emergency communication.
Additionally, it features a 2.4-inch 240 × 320 TFT LCD, a 37-key physical QWERTY keyboard, GPS/GNSS support, plus a magnetic compass for navigation and location sharing.
The M9 targets outdoor exploration, emergency and disaster communication, remote operations, scientific research, and offline community or privacy-focused communication.
So, it looks like the ThinkNode M9 builds on these earlier designs by adding a built-in keyboard, making it a fully standalone LoRa messaging terminal without requiring a smartphone for text input.
The ThinkNode M9 MeshCore communication terminal is currently available on the Elecrow store for $74.90, where you can choose between either the 915 MHz or 868 MHz version.
