TelcOS™ Melaleuca
Made right here in Brisbane, Australia. Take a look under the hood of Melaleuca, our modified version of OpenWrt®* that powers every Telco Electronics device. You will not find an ancient kernel or an outdated package on Melaleuca. The advantages of running the latest stable Linux kernel and packages are numerous, but start with better performance, more features, and fixed security bugs. That is why our devices are shipped with the KRACK wifi countermeasures and fixes for other kernel CVE's that can allow unauthorised remote root access. We offer the first LTE router in Australia to specify our hardware using Device Tree, which allows us to only include kernel code relevant to our hardware, leading to a smaller kernel, allowing us to boot faster and perform better. We are open source, meaning anyone can grab our source code and modify it to suit their exact requirements. We endeavour to contribute our code upstream so that the improvements we make to Melaleuca can be utilised by the wider community and future IoT and networking products.

Colour Coding (Melaleuca 1.3+)
Easily and intuitively understand signal quality at a glance. Measuring wireless signals can be complex, so we have identified the key values and rated them with a colour coding scheme. Values are automatically updated in real time and range from green, to orange to red so you can dial in to the sweet spot. Your device performs best when all values stay green.

Attention Optus Fixed Wireless Customers
Optus is not allowing third party devices to access their Fixed Wireless network which uses the APN LTEBROADBAND. Only Optus branded devices can access the LTEBROADBAND network. Unfortunately this means you cannot use a Telco T1 to access this closed network. The Optus Mobile Data network, however, does allow third party devices, so the Telco T1 can be used on that network. For details please see the Optus Critical Information Summary under Equipment Needs.

Compatible Power Supplies
The Telco T1 comes with a power supply, but if you require a different one, the following have been tested to be compatible.
- Telco T1 PoE Adaptor - replacement PoE adaptor
- MIT-69N-1224BNNN - recommended for solar and other DC power sources
- Ubiquiti 24V 0.5A PoE Injector - alternative to TEL-T1-POE
Notice: Use of a power supply, including PoE switches, operating outside of the following specifications may damage the device. If you have any questions about whether a particular power supply is compatible please Contact Us.
As is common with devices of this kind, the Telco T1 does not comply with the IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard: powering the device from an IEEE 802.3af-2003 power supply will damage the device as it is not rated for input voltages of the PoE standard. Instead, this device uses 24V/0.5A Passive PoE.
- Output: DC 24V/0.5A Passive PoE
- Pins: +4,5, -7,8
Be prepared for power outages, or take it on the go
Telco T1 can run for up to several days off of a standard USB power bank via the micro USB power port. (Power bank and USB cable not supplied).
Power Consumption
We tested the Telco T1 at idle and while performing a typical speed test (70Mbps download, 40Mbps upload) over ethernet cable and WiFi.
- Idle: 1.9W
- Peak under load (wired): 4.2W
- Peak under load (wifi): 6W
Protect Your Communications and Investment
Install surge protection to prevent electrical transients from harming or damaging your installation and reduce downtime.
