RAK wismesh tag

Mesh network tracking scaled down to fit on your keychain.

Important: 868 MHz for Europe

Always buy the 868 MHz version for use in Europe. The 915 MHz version (US) is not allowed in Europe.

Understanding the RAK wismesh tag

The RAK WisMesh Tag shrinks mesh tracking capability into something you can attach to keys, luggage, or valuables. Despite its diminutive form, this is a genuine mesh network participant.

Powered by the efficient nRF52840 chipset alongside SX1262 LoRa, it strikes a practical balance between physical size and functional capability.

Applications range from monitoring bicycle locations to tracking equipment cases through airports - all via the mesh network without any recurring fees.

Practical applications

RAK designed the WisMesh Tag with a single priority: maximum miniaturisation whilst retaining genuine mesh functionality. The nRF52840 processor excels at power conservation.

Bluetooth connectivity enables smartphone configuration. The LoRa transceiver handles mesh communication and position broadcasting to the wider network.

Without a display, you interact through the MeshCore mobile application when within Bluetooth proximity. Status updates and location data flow through the app interface.
