Product Description

The RAK Developer Base is a device designed for integration with desktop, mobile, or embedded systems. It enables the RAK2287 or RAK5146 mPCIe LoRa concentrator modules to function as USB Type-C pluggable devices, utilizing the included Type-C to Type-A cable.

This new approach enables easy integration into existing hardware, such as routers and industrial PCs, adding LoRaWAN gateway capabilities. For example, it can transform a laptop into a testbed LoRaWAN gateway by simply plugging it in and running the appropriate software stack.

Equipped with fully functional concentrator modules, it supports 8 uplink channels and 1 downlink channel at SF7–12 (RAK2287) or SF5–12 (RAK5146).

The RAK Developer Base is an ideal solution for LPWAN deployments where integration with existing hardware is crucial, or scenarios when on the go deployment is required, for drive testing or coverage evaluation in mobile scenarios.

This device provides a complete and cost-efficient LoRa gateway solution, offering up to 10 programmable parallel demodulation paths.
