## Description

## Overview

The LILYGO T-Beam 1W is a high-power variant of the T-Beam platform, featuring a 1-watt (30 dBm) LoRa power amplifier that dramatically extends the transmission range compared to standard LoRa boards. Built on the ESP32-S3 dual-core LX7 processor with 16MB flash and 8MB PSRAM, the board supports 433, 868, 915, 920, and 923 MHz frequency variants. The AXP2101 PMU manages 18650 battery power. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 LE are included for local connectivity. The board supports Arduino and PlatformIO development and is compatible with Meshtastic firmware for long-range mesh networking.
