The WisGate Connect Smart Building is specially designed for Smart Building and Smart Home/Office environments
Designed to look just great on your desktop due to it’s slick design, it can connect your home or office appliances using many different protocols, both wireless (LoRaWAN, Zigbee, Bluetooth) and wired (BACnet IP, KNX).
At the core of the WisGate Connect Smart Building gateway we have a RAK7391 carrier board for the the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4). This is a powerful ARM hardware solution capable of running different operating systems and multiple applications.
The WisGate Connect can be powered using PoE+ (802.3at) to minimize cabling. The aluminum enclosure doubles as heat-sink and therefore no active cooling is required for a completely silent operation.
