RAK7268V2 / RAK7268CV2 WisGate Edge Lite 2 Datasheet
Overview
Description
The RAK7268V2 WisGate Edge Lite 2 is the latest edition of the RAK Edge Series. It is an ideal product for indoor deployment with its built-in Ethernet connectivity for a straightforward setup. Additionally, there is an onboard Wi-Fi setup (supporting 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi) that allows it to be easily configured via the default Wi-Fi AP mode. The new RAK7268V2 supports power-over-Ethernet (PoE) in cases of a wall or ceiling mounting, where installing additional power lines is not an option. Moreover, the gateway supports LTE uplink communication connections (optional, only in RAK7268CV2).
The RAK7268V2 supports WisGateOS2, which is based on the latest OpenWrt kernel and accommodates the latest security updates. The web UI adopts a new design. It supports the installation of multiple extensions and remote management using WisDM to achieve personalized customization of the gateway.
RAK7268V2 is especially suitable for small and medium-sized deployment scenarios in industry applications, saving the additional cost for server and R&D investment, and has the advantages of high execution efficiency.
