MiniNodes offer a lighter, smaller, and more wallet-friendly option for speleology, enhancing mobility without sacrificing functionality. Weighing just 250 grams (approximately 0.55 pounds), MiniNodes are easier to carry and deploy in challenging underground environments compared to their counterpart, the BatNode. Despite the smaller battery size, which allows for up to 3 days of continuous operation, MiniNodes maintain the essential features needed for effective underground communication.

Like the BatNode, MiniNodes function as portable radio transceivers within a mesh network, requiring no setup other than powering on. They are not intrinsically safe devices and lack fiber optic connectivity, focusing instead on straightforward voice and data transmission capabilities. The nodes integrate seamlessly into networks of up to 100 nodes, ensuring reliable communication across a wide range of speleological activities.

Main Features:

• Lightweight design, only 250g (0.55 lbs), for ease of transport.
• Up to 3 days of battery life, ensuring prolonged use in the field.
• Operates as part of a mesh network with simple activation and maintenance.

Additional Information:

• IP67 degree of protection, ensuring durability against dust and moisture.
• LED indicators for operational status, providing clear visibility of the device’s functioning.
• Although MiniNodes do not support fiber optic connections, their robust radio network capabilities make them an ideal choice for cave exploration teams looking for efficient and cost-effective communication solutions.

This streamlined version of the BatNode is designed to meet the specific needs of speleologists, offering an effective communication tool in a more compact and economical package.
