And finally...the answer.
Remember, this thing was positioned as enterprise-grade rocketship hardware. God knows how much it cost new, I got it cheap because Helium is dead and I can turn it into a Meshtastic node.
That's an off-the-shelf Raspberry Pi 4 with a LoRA HAT. That's all it is.
Still nothing? Maybe if we show where I've removed plates and stickers on the side...
No bites? Fair enough! It's supposed to be hard from the outside. Let's strip it down a bit.

I'll be posting follow-ups which make it more obvious. Feel free to guess, and watch the post to find out if you're right!
We'll start with the assembled unit. This is a Helium (now defunct) network miner which I'm repurposing.

Loving the fact that Helium failed (while the Things Network lives on). It's almost like anything backed by blockchain is a disaster waiting to happen.
Anyway. It's great that it failed. Means that there are a ton of used RAK7248 devices on the market which make incredible Meshtastic nodes.
