Fleet Management
What is WisDM?
WisDM is a cloud-based gateway management platform designed to simplify the deployment, configuration, and monitoring of RAK WisGate Edge gateways. It provides a centralized and efficient solution for managing IoT gateway fleets, offering the following key features:
- Remote Configuration – Secure cloud-based configuration and management of gateways.
- Mass Deployment – Group-based provisioning and batch configuration for multiple devices.
- Live Monitoring – Real-time performance metrics, system logs, and device health monitoring.
- Automated Alerts – Email notifications for abnormal gateway behavior or status changes.
- Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates – Remote firmware upgrades without manual intervention.
- Secure Remote Access – Web-based SSH terminal for full gateway control.
Why Use WisDM for Fleet Management?
Managing a large number of gateways manually can be inefficient and costly. WisDM offers a scalable, cost-effective, and VPN-free approach to remote gateway management.
Zero-Touch Remote Management (No VPN Required)
Traditionally, configuring and managing gateways remotely required a VPN connection to each device's local UI. With WisDM, users can remotely configure and monitor thousands of gateways seamlessly—without the need for a VPN.
Reduced Operational Costs & Increased Stability
By eliminating the need for on-site visits, WisDM reduces installation and maintenance costs while ensuring a more stable and secure remote management experience.
Multi-Tiered Access Control
Unlike traditional VPN-based solutions, WisDM allows businesses to assign different user roles with varying levels of access permissions. This is particularly beneficial for system integrators, network operators, and enterprises managing large-scale deployments.
How to Integrate Gateways with WisDM?
To manage your WisGate devices through WisDM, integration must be completed both on the gateway and in the WisDM platform.
- On the gateway, go to Settings > WisDM, and enable the "Allow WisDM integration" option.
- For registration steps in the WisDM platform, refer to the WisDM Documentation.
