Please Read: Helium is not accepting these gateways into the blockchain for now as the Alpha Hotspot program has ceased, consult using this Discord channel for details. If you want to actively participate in the Helium network and earn HNT please order our RAK Hotspot V2 instead.

Available Models

• WisGate Developer D4H (RAK7248)- this is the base model with the Raspberry Pi 4 (RPi 4) and the RAK2287 with PiHAT
• WisGate Developer D4H+ (RAK7248C)- this is the Cellular version that includes the RPi 4, RAK2287 with PiHAT, and the RAK2013 Cellular Pi HAT
• WisGate Developer D4HP (RAK7248P)this version allows for powering the gateway via PoE by adding the RAK9003 Pi HAT to the base configuration (RPi 4 + RAK2287 with PiHAT + RAK9003)

Product Description

The RAK7248 WisGate Developer D4H RAK7248 is a Gateway for LoRAWAN that consists of Raspberry Pi4, RAK2287 Concentrator, and RAK2287 Pi HAT. RAK2287 includes a GPS module and a heat sink for better performance and thermal heat dissipation management, and its housing is built with an aluminum casing.

The built-in RAK2013 Cellular Pi HAT is based on the EG95 from Quectel, which is an LTE CAT4 module optimized specifically for M2M and IoT applications.

For the build-in RAK2287, it uses the SX1302 chip from Semtech which built-in LoRa® concentrator IP core is a powerful digital signal processing engine. It can receive up to 8 LoRa packets with different spreading factors on different channels and available in multiple variants so it can be used for international standard bands. This unique capability allows implementing innovative network architectures advantageous over other short-range systems. RAK2287 Pi HAT is a converter board with Raspberry Pi form factor that enables the RAK2287 module to be mounted on the top of the Raspberry Pi. It integrates one (1) 40-pin female Pi HAT connector and one mPCIe connector to connect RAK2287 to the Raspberry Pi 4.

RAK7248 is ideal for prototyping, proof-of-concept demonstration, or evaluation. It includes a ready-to-use LoRaWAN Gateway OS that can be connected to a LoRaWAN server. Also, it is developer-friendly and simple even for no-so-tech users to set up a LoRaWAN system. It has to be the best value and function for connectivity to address a variety of applications like Smart Grid, Intelligent Farm, and other IoT enterprise applications.
