RAK7289 WisGate Edge Pro Datasheet
Overview
Description
RAK7289 WisGate Edge Pro is an ideal product for IoT commercial deployment. With its industrial-grade components, it achieves a high standard of reliability.
Supports up to 16 LoRa channels, multi-backhaul with Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Cellular connectivity. Optionally there is a dedicated port for different power options, solar panels, and batteries. With its new enclosure design, it allows the LTE, Wi-Fi, and GPS antennas to be inside the enclosure.
The gateway provides a solid out-of-the-box experience for quick deployment. Additionally, since its software and UI sits on top of OpenWRT it is perfect for the development of custom applications (via the open SDK).
Thus, the RAK7289 is suited for any use case scenario, be it rapid deployment or customization with regards to UI and functionality.
