Gateway uplink connects the LoRa cloud platform by a standard Ethernet cable, making LoRaWAN wireless to internet forwarding a breeze. RAK7258 supports 2.4G WiFi, WiFi clients can access this gateway and setup the gateway by wireless. It supports optional NB-IoT /Cat M module, in the absence of a wired network, it can readily use the celullars network uplink data to the LoRa server when there is no local Ethernet. Our built-in software is based on the OpenWRT development for LoRaWAN transmission / forwarding. It is designed for all kinds of network environment, parameter configuration and firewall functions. Configurations and management of gateway devices are made easy for users through the web configuration management system. RAK7258 is built-in heat sink to dissipate the heat from the LoRa concentrator which can withstand hot and cold environments. It can be installed on a wall and has a Power-

over-Ethernet (POE) supply mode, making it convenient for site construction and installation. 1.2 Product Features LoRa supports 8RX 1TX channels Supports 2.4G WiFi 100Mbase-T Ethernet with POE Muiti uplink backup with Ethernet, WiFi OpenWRT software supports LoRaWAN gateway and network configuration Heat sink to dissipate heat Can integrate with both private and public(TTN) Network Servers Supports TF card for storage Indoor operation temperature Supports optional for NB-IoT /Cat M cellular network Figure 1 | Network Architechture RAK7258 User Manual V1.3 4 RAK7258 2 Product Specifications 2.1 Main Specifications Feature Specifications Computing MT7628, DDR2RAM 128MB Frequency: 2.400-2.4835GHz(802.11b/g/n) WIFI Feature RX Sensitivity: -95dBm (Min), Operation Channels: 2.4GHz: 1-13 LoRa Feature SX1301 Mini PCIe card 8 Channels RX Sensitivity: -142 dBm (Min) Frequency: EU868 / US915 Cellular Extended NB-IoT /Cat M, nonsupport by default Power Supply DC 12V-1A POE (IEEE 802.3af), 42~57VDC Power Consumption 12W (typical) ETH RJ45(100M) Console RJ45 (RS232) Antenna LoRa: RP-SMA Female Connector WiFi: Internal Antenna LoRa LED(1), Cellular LED (2), LEDs POWER LED(1), ETH LED(1), WiFi LED(1) Enclosure Material Plastics Weight 0.3kg Dimension 180mm x 120mm x 43mm Operating Temp.
