What Is WisGate Connect Industrial?

WisGate Connect Industrial is an industrial IoT communications gateway for connecting sensors, field devices, and automation systems across mixed industrial networks. It supports LoRa, Zigbee, Ethernet, MQTT, Modbus TCP, BACnet IP, 4-20mA analog input, digital I/O, relay control, and sensor interfaces.

Built around the RAK7391 carrier board for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, it provides edge computing, protocol handling, and modular expansion in a rack-ready enclosure. Teams can use it for local device management, sensor data collection, industrial protocol bridging, and edge application deployment through RAKPiOS and Docker-based services.

Why You Need WisGate Connect Industrial

Industrial teams often manage mixed devices, separate gateways, and disconnected data paths. WisGate Connect Industrial helps simplify field connectivity, reduce integration work, and keep monitoring closer to equipment.

Why it’s useful:

  • Cuts system complexity: Combines multiple connectivity needs into one field-ready edge device.
  • Improves data access: Helps teams collect operational data from equipment that uses different communication methods.
  • Supports gradual expansion: Adapts as more sensors, modules, and applications are added.
  • Keeps control local: Processes and manages device data closer to machines and infrastructure.

Best Fit for WisGate Connect Industrial

WisGate Connect Industrial is a strong fit for industrial IoT deployments that need edge computing, modular wireless expansion, and mixed-protocol connectivity in one gateway.

It is especially useful when teams need to:

  • Connect LoRa, Zigbee, Ethernet, and industrial I/O in one system
  • Run local services through RAKPiOS and Docker
  • Bridge sensor data to MQTT, Modbus TCP, BACnet IP, or other IP-based systems
  • Add WisBlock, mPCIe, or M.2 expansion as project requirements grow
  • Deploy a rack-ready gateway for factory, building automation, utility, or infrastructure environments

Deployment Considerations

For projects that only need a fixed outdoor gateway for LoRaWAN®, a compact DIN-rail controller, or a cellular-router-first architecture, compare WisGate Connect Industrial with other RAKwireless gateway options to choose the best fit for the deployment.

For projects that need CM4-based edge computing, modular wireless expansion, WisBlock I/O, and mixed industrial protocol handling, WisGate Connect Industrial provides a flexible foundation for industrial IoT communications.

Wall mounting provides a reliable and straightforward installation method without requiring additional accessories.

Benefit

Description

Flexible Deployment

Suitable for offices, utility rooms, industrial sites, and edge installations.

Secure and Stable Installation

Ensures the device is firmly mounted on vertical surfaces for long-term operation.

No Additional Accessories Required

Wall mounting hardware is included for out-of-the-box installation.

Versatile Positioning

Allows installation in locations where DIN rail infrastructure is not available.

DIN Rail Mounting Support

WisGate Connect Industrial supports installation on standard DIN rail systems (35mm DIN rail) using a DIN Rail Mounting Kit. This enables seamless integration into industrial control cabinets, electrical enclosures, and automation panels.

DIN rail mounting is widely used in industrial environments as it allows structured installation, efficient space utilization, and simplified maintenance.

Software

We have prepared a custom Linux distribution for the WisGate Connect called RAKPiOS. The RAKPiOS is a fork of the Raspberry Pi OS with all the required drivers to use the device, some security changes, helper scripts and Docker included by default.

With the included rakpios-cli you can easily configure the network and deploy several IoT services from a curated list of docker containers available from the device.

Security, Updates, and Edge Operations

WisGate Connect Industrial supports practical edge operations for teams running industrial IoT services close to connected equipment. After setup, teams can use the gateway for local configuration, containerized service deployment, and on-device application support.

Key operational benefits include:

  • Network configuration through rakpios-cli
  • Docker-based deployment for local IoT services
  • Support for data collectors, protocol tools, dashboards, and automation logic
  • Local edge processing before sending data upstream
  • Repeatable service deployment across similar industrial IoT projects
  • Flexible application management on a CM4-based gateway platform

Use Case Examples of WisGate Connect Industrial

WisGate Connect Industrial fits projects where teams need practical device connectivity, local processing, and consistent data collection."

Use Case #1: Factory Sensor Network Consolidation

A factory team can use WisGate Connect Industrial to collect LoRa sensor data, read equipment data over Modbus TCP, run local Docker services, and forward normalized MQTT payloads to a monitoring platform. This reduces the need for separate gateways for each device type and keeps sensor data processing closer to production equipment.

Use Case #2: Building Automation Protocol Bridge

Facility teams can use WisGate Connect Industrial to connect Zigbee devices, Ethernet-based systems, and BACnet IP applications in one edge gateway. This helps simplify data collection from mixed building systems while keeping local protocol handling inside the equipment room or automation cabinet.

Why Choose WisGate Connect Industrial?

WisGate Connect Industrial is a modular CM4-based industrial IoT gateway designed for teams that need local edge computing, mixed-protocol connectivity, and flexible hardware expansion. It combines LoRa, Zigbee, Ethernet, WisBlock I/O, Modbus TCP, BACnet IP, MQTT, RAKPiOS, and Docker support in a 1U rack-ready gateway platform. This makes it useful for factories, building automation systems, utilities, and infrastructure projects where sensor data, field devices, and industrial applications need to connect through one configurable edge gateway.
