Dresden, Germany – June 11, 2025 – Meshmerize, a leading provider of software-defined wireless mesh networking, and 8devices, a premier EU-based manufacturer of compact Wi-Fi modules and a Qualcomm® Authorized Design Center (ADC), have announced the launch of their latest innovation – the RoboNode-M.
Designed specifically for integration into mobile robots, drone swarms, and autonomous systems, the RoboNode-M boasts a breakthrough in intelligent wireless mesh connectivity. Its lightweight aluminum housing, weighing only 178g, and extended temperature support make it ideal for both indoor and outdoor deployments in real-world industrial environments.
Powered by the Qualcomm® QCS405 SoC, the RoboNode-M combines a long-range 2×4 MU-MIMO radio and a 1×1 auxiliary radio for dual-concurrent Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) operation. It also offers software-selectable 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, with extended frequency support of 2.3-3.2 GHz and 4.1-6.7 GHz. This exceptional hardware is seamlessly integrated with Meshmerize’s intelligent and field-proven mesh networking software, designed for reliable machine to machine (M2M) and machine to infrastructure (M2I) communication.
The RoboNode-M has already proven its capabilities in the field, powering fully autonomous warehouses across six continents with hundreds of interconnected nodes achieving an impressive 99.99% reliability. It has also enabled drone swarms of over 50 units to operate kilometers apart.
Claus Hetting, CEO and Chairman of Wi-Fi NOW, praised the RoboNode-M, stating, “This compact, dual-radio module proves Wi-Fi is not just a consumer technology – it’s a high-performance platform for drone swarms, autonomous systems, and industrial innovation. It’s truly exciting to see Wi-Fi connectivity enabling new categories of ultra-innovative products.”
Some key benefits of the RoboNode-M include its compact dual-radio Wi-Fi 6 module with extended frequency range, high-throughput, and low-latency performance ideal for mobility and autonomy, and the ease of deployment and monitoring through Meshmerize’s Hive Network Manager.
The RoboNode-M is now available for orders, and interested parties can learn more by visiting meshmerize.net/supported-devices or 8devices.com/products/robonode for their robotics, drone, or automation projects.
