Product Description

The RAK Developer Kits make it easy to start with a LoRaWAN network.

All kits include everything required to send data from a LoRaWAN node (WisBlock)to a LoRaWAN gateway (Developer Gateway) and forward the data to a LoRaWAN server. These kits include the LoRaWAN gateway and a LoRaWAN node that makes it easy to build a LoRaWAN system and send data to a LoRaWAN server.

Kit 1 is a Gateway and a WisBlock Starter Kit. Add any of our WisBlock Sensor or IO modules to build a system based on your ideas. Many ideas for WisBlock solutions can be found in our WisBlock Examples => RAKwireless Example Solutions

Kit 2 Includes everything to build a weather station that measures temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and environment luminosity and send the collected weather information over LoRaWAN to the cloud/LoRaWAN server. It includes as well an indoor enclosure to protect the WisBlock modules.
