What is the Nano G1 Explorer?
The Nano G1 Explorer from B&Q Consulting is a premium Meshtastic device designed for outdoor adventures. It combines an ESP32 processor with SX1262 LoRa and an advanced internal wideband antenna.
What makes this device special is the internal antenna that works from 815 MHz to 940 MHz - this means you can use the same device in virtually any region in the world without having to replace the antenna.
The antenna is specially designed to continue performing well, even when the device is in your pocket. With many other devices, the signal degrades significantly near the human body.
