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.

Mounting & Installation

The device supports multiple installation methods, allowing flexible deployment across industrial and commercial environments.

Wall Mounting

WisGate Connect Industrial supports direct wall mounting using the included mounting brackets. This enables flexible installation on walls or flat vertical surfaces, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor and semi-industrial deployments.

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.
