PiMesh-1W

🚀 PiMesh-1W

1-Watt LoRa HAT for Raspberry Pi

Need serious range? The PiMesh-1W gives your Raspberry Pi a full 1 W (30 dBm) of LoRa power using the Ebyte E22-900-30S module. That’s several times stronger than typical SX1262 boards — perfect for long-range Meshtastic, Meshcore, IoT, and telemetry.

Why This Board?

Most LoRa boards run 21–22 dBm. A few reach ~27 dBm.
PiMesh-1W reaches the full 30 dBm (1 W) for maximum link budget.

Typical board transmit power:

• LILYGO T-Echo (SX1262): ~22 dBm
• Heltec V3 (SX1262): ~21 dBm
• Heltec V4 High-Power (SX1262): ~27 dBm
• PiMesh-1W (E22-900-30S): 30 dBm (1 W)
