WisGate (RAK7268) WisGate (RAK7268C) WisGate (RAK7268 V2) WisGate (RAK7268C V2) The RAK7268 WisGate Edge Lite 2 (and all its varieties) is a full 8-channel indoor gateway, based on the LoRaWAN protocol, with built-in Ethernet connectivity for a straightforward setup. Additionally, there is an onboard Wi-Fi setup (supporting 2.4G Wi-Fi) that allows it to be easily configured via the default Wi-Fi AP mode. Additionally, the gateway supports LTE uplink communication connections (optional, available with RAK7268C and RAK7268C V2). As with the other RAKwireless Industrial Gateways, it also supports MQTT Bridge mode, with the option for TLS authentication. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is supported to serve cases where wall or ceiling mounting is required without the need to install additional power lines. The open-source software for the management and configuration of this gateway device is based on OpenWRT. It has a built-in LoRa packet forwarder and a graphical user interface, allowing for a quick setup without giving up the freedom of a fully customized solution. RAK7268/C/V2 also supports the MQTT Bridge function and can use the MQTT integrated into third-party platforms. RAK7268/C/V2 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. V2 models come with enhanced processing abilities given by the 32 MB NOR flash memory. This allows the devices to run the newest WisGateOS 2. Previous models have 16 MB NOR flash memory and run WisGateOS(1). 1.2 Product Features Full LoRaWAN Stack support (V 1.0.3) in Built-In Server mode Supports 2.4 G Wi-Fi AP for configuration 100M Base-T Ethernet with PoE Multi back-haul with Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Cellular (optional, available with RAK7268C and RAK7268C V2) OpenWRT software supports Web UI for easy configuration and monitoring Can integrate with both private (e.g. ChirpStack) and public (e.g. TTN) network servers SD card for log backup Built-in Network Server for easy deployment of applications and integration of gateways LTE Cat 4 network (optional, available with RAK7268C and RAK7268C V2) 2 Specifications 2.1 Hardware Interfaces The hardware interfaces of RAK7268 series gateways include DC 12V, ETH interface, Console interface, Reset key, SD Card slot, Status indicator LEDs, LoRa Antenna connector, etc. As shown in the following figure.
