Arduino WisGate Edge Lite 2 Gateway for LoRaWAN®

Arduino WisGate Edge Lite 2 Gateway for LoRaWAN® offers high reliability that embeds RAKwireless™ technologies to enable home setup and small or medium-sized industrial indoor LoRaWAN applications with a high execution efficiency. The RAK7268 WisGate Edge Lite 2 is a complete 8-channel indoor gateway based on the LoRaWAN protocol, with built-in Ethernet connectivity for a straightforward setup. The gateway provides an onboard Wi-Fi® setup (supporting 2.4GHz Wi-Fi®) that allows easy configuration via the default Wi-Fi AP mode.

The Arduino WisGate Edge Lite 2 Gateway features a rapid setup and diagnostics, backup, and data logging and is ideal for implementing private networks connected to the cloud. The WisGate Edge Lite 2 Gateway also supports 8 LoRa channels and an MQTT Bridge function to integrate into third-party platforms.

The open-source software for managing and configuring the gateway device is based on OpenWRT. It has a built-in LoRa packet forwarder and a graphical user interface, resulting in a quick setup without giving up the freedom of a fully customized solution.
