Product Description

The RAK7243C is a fully-fledged 8 channel LoRaWAN gateway that is Class A and C compliant. It consists of the following modules: RAK2245, RAK2013, and Raspberry Pi 3B+.

At its core is the Raspberry Pi 3B+, which integrates all the other hardware components and runs the OS. The RAK2245 is the concentrator module, playing the role of a LoRa® transceiver. The RAK2013 provides for cellular backhaul (in addition to the Wi-Fi and Ethernet of the Raspberry Pi 3B+).

Software-wise one could choose to either go with TTN or LoRa Server in addition to bringing his own solution. TTN is more suitable for public, cloud deployment. LoRa Server provides a solution that can be run on a private server or the gateway itself.

Thus the RAK7243C is a flexible solution suitable for both small scale projects, as well as large scale industrial solutions. It provides a variety of connectivity options and its size and weight make it ideal for indoor deployment.

Note that you can not add WisLink Cellular Pi HAT RAK2013 later and add it to WisGate Developer RAK7243/44 without modification of the RAK2245 board in the Gateway.
