RAK Wireless WisGate Developer RAK7243 Pilot Gateway Pro LoRa 868MHz Version

RAK7243 Pilot Gateway Pro LoRa Gateway RAK831 upgrade, for PoC Raspberry Pi 3B+, RAK2245 Pi HAT

overview

The RAK7243C is a full-featured 8-channel LoRaWAN® gateway that is Class A and C compliant. It consists of the following modules: RAK2245, RAK2013, and Raspberry Pi 3B+.
The heart of the system is the Raspberry Pi 3B+, which integrates all other hardware components and runs the operating system. The RAK2245 is the concentrator module that takes on the role of a LoRa® transceiver. The RAK2013 provides the cellular backhaul (in addition to the Wi-Fi and Ethernet of the Raspberry Pi 3B+).
On the software side, you can choose either TTN or LoRa Server and also bring your own solution. TTN is more suitable for public, cloud-based use. LoRa Server offers a solution that can be operated on a private server or the gateway itself.
This makes the RAK7243C a flexible solution suitable for both small projects and large-scale industrial solutions. It offers a variety of connectivity options and its size and weight make it ideal for indoor use.
Please note that you cannot add the WisLink Cellular Pi HAT RAK2013 later without modifying the RAK2245 board in the gateway.
