Rokland just kicked off their new Makers Market, a venture showcasing members of the Meshtastic community and the high-quality gear they design.

Their first featured maker is Matt Donley of ATLAVOX — showcasing the ATLAVOX Beacon, a Meshtastic-compatible solar node built on RAKwireless WisBlock hardware.
Each device is crafted and tested in the USA, pairing thoughtful design with durable construction.
