What Is WisGate Edge Pro?
WisGate Edge Pro (RAK7289V2/RAK7289CV2) is an outdoor LoRaWAN gateway for industrial and professional IoT deployments. This high-performance gateway is available in 8 and 16-channel versions, powered by the Semtech SX1303 LoRa core. Featuring an IP67-rated enclosure, integrated internal antennas for LTE, WiFi, and GPS, and multi-backhaul options (Ethernet, WiFi, and LTE), it provides reliable long-range communication in harsh environments.
It operates on WisGateOS 2, offering enhanced user experience, feature extensibility, and remote management via WisDM. WisGate Edge Pro is suitable for deployments in agriculture, smart cities, industrial IoT networks,and many more.
This product is designed for 12V DC power via a dedicated port. Direct use of solar chargers is prohibited, due to potential overvoltage damage to the device, which will void the warranty.

Use Case #1: Smarter Irrigation in Agriculture
A farm experiencing crop loss from irregular watering cycles can deploy WisGate Edge Pro to collect real-time sensor data on soil moisture and precipitation, enabling automated and precise irrigation control.
Use Case #2: Remote Equipment Monitoring in Industry
In an off-grid solar plant, engineers can use WisGate Edge Pro to collect operational data from power inverters and battery banks. The LoRaWAN gateway transmits data over LTE to support predictive maintenance and to reduce downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I power the gateway safely?
The gateway should be powered using a 12V DC power supply or through PoE (Power over Ethernet, 802.3af). Do not use solar chargers directly. They can supply unstable voltages and may damage the device.
Can I use this gateway in off-grid or remote environments?
Yes. The gateway is compatible with the RAK Battery Plus, making it suitable for solar-powered or off-grid setups.
How do I manage the gateway remotely?
You can manage it using WisDM, RAK’s cloud-based device management platform. It allows you to monitor, configure, and update your gateways remotely. Create a WisDM account, add your gateway by serial number, and start managing devices across your network. Ensure your gateway has internet access for cloud syncing.
Does the gateway support firmware updates over the air (FUOTA)?
Yes. WisGateOS 2 combined with WisDM enables remote firmware updates, configuration changes, and device monitoring.
