Network Rack Upgrade

After 2 months of careful planning, part sourcing, and even some 3D printing magic, my freshly upgraded network rack is finally live! From a robust Tecmojo 12U frame to a lineup of SBCs and mini-PCs, every component has been placed with purpose. In this post, I’ll walk you through the hardware, share product links, and highlight the key modules that bring my homelab, and the Pacific Northwest Computers’ infrastructure, to life!!

*None of the links are affiliate links or anything! I am simply sharing what I used in this project!

LoRA / Meshtastic & Unlicensed ISM

What is LoRA?

LoRA (which stands for Long Range) is a wireless communication technology designed for long-range, low-power communication in the Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It operates on unlicensed radio bands and is known for its ability to transmit data over long distances while consuming minimal power. LoRA technology is often used for connecting devices that need to communicate over long distances, such as in smart city applications, industrial automation, agricultural monitoring, and much, much more.
