RAK7267 WisGate Soho Pro Datasheet
Overview
Description
The RAK7267 WisGate Soho Pro is an innovative 8-channel LoRaWAN® gateway designed for outdoor deployments. It supports Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity.
This gateway uses an IP67-rated Unify Enclosure, a weatherproof and flame-retardant enclosure made of UV stabilized ABS plastic that protects internal components from dust and water. The new enclosure is designed to allow the LoRa, LTE, Wi-Fi, and GPS antennas to be inside the enclosure.
The gateway runs on WisGateOS 2, a secure and flexible operating system based on the latest OpenWrt kernel. It supports extension modules for enhanced customization, and offers centralized remote management and configuration via WisDM, making it ideal for deploying and operating large-scale gateway networks.
