Meshmerize And 8Devices Launch Robonode M: Compact Dual Wi Fi 6 Mesh Module For Robotics And Drone Swarms

A Breakthrough in Intelligent Wireless Mesh Connectivity for Mobile and Autonomous Systems

Dresden, Germany – June 11, 2025 – Meshmerize, a leader in software-defined wireless mesh networking, and 8devices, a premier EU-based manufacturer of compact Wi-Fi modules and a Qualcomm® Authorized Design Center (ADC), are proud to announce the launch of the RoboNode-M — a robust, high-performance wireless module purpose-built for integration into mobile robots, drone swarms, and autonomous systems.

Engineered for the demands of real-world industrial environments, the RoboNode-M features a lightweight (178g) aluminum housing with extended temperature support, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor deployments.

Powered by the Qualcomm® QCS405 SoC, the RoboNode-M combines:

A long-range 2x4 MU-MIMO radio and a 1x1 auxiliary radio for dual-concurrent Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) operation

Software-selectable 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, plus extended frequency support across 2.3–3.2 GHz and 4.1–6.7 GHz

This exceptional hardware is seamlessly integrated with Meshmerize’s intelligent, field-proven mesh networking software which is designed specifically for machine to machine (M2M) and machine to infrastructure (M2I) communication. Meshmerize’s platform powers fully autonomous “dark” warehouses across six continents with hundreds of interconnected nodes achieving 99.99% reliability, and has enabled drone swarms of over 50 units operating kilometers apart.

“The RoboNode-M is a brilliant example of how Wi-Fi continues to push boundaries in automation and robotics,” said Claus Hetting, CEO & Chairman of Wi-Fi NOW. “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.”
