Routers & firewalls
The edge of every site, on the mesh.
Beacons ships OpenWRT OPKG, pfSense / OPNsense packages, and Mikrotik containers. The router becomes a fleet peer with subnet routing — the whole branch office joins the mesh as a single hop.
What you get.

- pfSense / OPNsense FreeBSD packages
- Mikrotik RouterOS container or external sidecar
- GL.iNet travel routers (OpenWRT) — mesh anywhere you take it
