RAK2461 WisNode Bridge IO Lite
Product Description
The RAK2461 WisNode Bridge IO Lite bridges different Digital Inputs, Outputs (Relay), and RS-485 communication to LoRaWAN® for industrial applications. The device relays data using the LoRaWAN network as a means of wirelessly transmitting to and from the end devices.
It is an ideal solution for seamless LoRaWAN communication within industrial environments. Engineered with industrial-grade reliability and based on the RAK3172-T LoRaWAN module, the RAK2461 ensures long-range connectivity, even in extreme temperatures from -20° C to +70° C.
This device can operate on all LoRaWAN bands within the standard regional parameters defined by the LoRa Alliance®. It supports wall and DIN rail mounting for flexible deployment in industrial automation and smart infrastructure applications. The RAK2461 can be configured through IO.Box for LoRaWAN, RS485, DI/DO, and system settings. Together with a RAK Gateway , it enables a simple way to build a new wireless industrial system or extend an existing deployment.

Typical Network Application
RAK2461 WisNode Bridge IO Lite provides different Digital Inputs, Outputs (Relay), and RS-485 communication. It can convert the data of the connected devices into LoRaWAN that can be sent to the cloud server via a standard gateway. Cloud server can also actively send data to RS-485 terminals and control the DI/DO data transmission, to achieve two-way data communication. Using RAK2461, what used to be a costly and time-consuming cable line network deployment can be transformed into a rapid and cost-efficient wireless network deployment.
