Product Description​

The RAK7268V2 WisGate Edge Lite 2 is the latest version 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 wall or ceiling mounting, where installing additional power lines is not an option. Moreover, the gateway supports LTE backhaul (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.

Field Applications​

As the Internet of Things (IoT) technology gradually penetrates into various industries and all aspects of life, the application scenarios of LoRaWAN gateways have become very extensive. This section highlights field applications of the RAK7240V2/RAK7240CV2 WisGate Edge Prime outdoor gateways, aiming to provide inspiration for your solutions.

NOTE

The following scenarios and applications are only examples. The field applications of LoRaWAN gateway are very extensive, including but not limited to these examples.

Smart Home​

LoRa-based solutions provide an ideal platform for solving the indoor connectivity challenges of traditional platforms, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or Z-Wave. Whether on the home's periphery or in the yard, it can connect these devices to the same platform, far beyond the scope of traditional connectivity technologies.

  • Garages
  • Door locks
  • Outdoor lighting
  • Pet geofencing
  • Connected pest traps
  • Leak detection

Smart Building​

LoRa®-based smart building solutions allow building managers, owners, tenants, and service providers to view building functions remotely and ensure that all building elements are working harmoniously.

  • Monitoring of temperature in basements/common areas
  • Monitoring of humidity levels
  • Monitoring of electricity consumption
  • Monitoring of ventilation flow
  • Analysis of building integrity

Utilities​

IoT (Internet Of Things) is increasingly present in utilities (water, electricity, gas, and heating). IoT enables different approaches to smart utilities.

  • Automatic transmission of electricity and water usage
  • Detection of water leaks in pipes
  • Detection of power failure, over-consumption (fraud), or under/over-voltage
  • Analysis of pressure and temperature in a gas pipe, as well as possible leaks

Software and Services​

WisGateOS2​

The latest unified operating system for RAK gateways offers a feature-rich environment to access and configure the LoRaWAN gateway. WisGateOS2 is built on the latest OpenWrt kernel for enhanced security. It employs a simplified user interface that improves usability and programmability. Integrated with WisDM, it enables remote management of gateways and firmware. With its extensibility, you can add additional features and functions to your gateways. For more information, refer to WisGateOS2 User Manual.

WisGateOS2 Extensions​

WisGateOS2 features an extension functionality, that allows features and functions be added, removed, or updated based on your needs. For more information, refer to WisGateOS2 Extensions.

WisDM​

WisDM is a cloud-based device management platform specifically designed to help you optimize the ways of controlling your gateways. The WisDM device management software supports IoT networks of any scale built around commercial-grade LoRaWAN Edge gateways from RAKwireless. Additionally, the WisDM platform offers you remote configuration, OTAA updates, and scalable management. For more information, refer to WisDM.
