Mesh Potato Features

Feature Benefit
Integrated Wifi and ATA in a single box Low power consumption, ease of setup, fewer cables, fewer points of failure, and low cost.
Mesh, Client or AP mode Wifi Can be a component in Mesh Wifi networks or connect to existing Wifi networks
One-IP configuration Set one IP and the device is ready to make an receive phone calls. Quickly build voice and IP networks and roll out a Wireless PBX in minutes.
Web GUI or Phone UI Configure via a web interface or telephone IVR menu. With Phone UI no laptop is required for on-site installation.
UV-resistant, weather-proof enclosure Long life outdoors, no need to purchase a separate enclosure for out door use.
Built in mounting points Simple and low cost outdoor installation.
Rugged design Withstands abuse that would destroy other products such as power surges, brownouts, reverse DC, over-voltage DC, and static electricity.
Wide range DC power supply Runs on any DC voltage from 10V to 40V, or any AC voltage from 110 to 250VAC via wall-plug type power supply. A solar panel can be directly connected - saving money on a solar regulator.
Power efficient Consumes just 2.5W (DC). Can run on a 10W solar panel.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Power over Telephone Line (PoTL) Just one cable run for both power and telephone. PoE and PoTL injectors included.
Open Hardware Design No vendor lock-in. Open to improvement by anyone.
Open Source firmware Linux, OpenWRT, B.A.T.M.A.N., and Asterisk. Stable, reliable community developed software. Open to improvement, adaptation, and innovation.
Asterisk Extremely configurable, add IVR menus, connect IP Phones and billing systems
