RAKWireless RAK7240V2 WisGate Edge Prime | 8/16-Channel Industrial Outdoor LoRaWAN Gateway (EU868)

The RAKWireless RAK7240V2 WisGate Edge Prime is a high-performance industrial outdoor LoRaWAN® gateway for large-scale network deployments. Built on the latest Semtech SX1303 LoRa core for better sensitivity and improved performance, it ships in a rugged IP65 full-metal enclosure with cable glands — ready for demanding outdoor sites.

This 8-channel EU868 model adds an LTE Cat-4 cellular module alongside Ethernet and Wi-Fi backhaul, plus GPS, for resilient connectivity anywhere. It runs WisGateOS 2 with a built-in LoRaWAN network server and remote management via WisDM, making it equally suited to rapid roll-outs and customised deployments.

Core Capabilities

SX1303 — 8 Channels The latest Semtech SX1303 LoRa core delivers better sensitivity and improved performance. This model provides 8 LoRa channels for dependable, long-range outdoor coverage. Multi-Backhaul + GPS LTE Cat-4 cellular (EG95-E), 10/100 Ethernet, and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi keep the gateway online anywhere, with built-in GPS. External antennas for Wi-Fi, GPS, and LTE are included. Industrial IP65 Build A full-metal IP65 enclosure with cable glands, 802.3af PoE plus surge protection, and a “dying gasp” alert. A DC 9–24 V power option with Battery Plus support is available for off-grid sites. WisGateOS 2 & Built-In LNS A built-in LoRaWAN network server (1.0.3), Basics Station and Packet Forwarder modes, frame filtering, MQTT v3.1 bridging with TLS, frame buffering on NS outage, and optional fine timestamping — all managed via WisDM.

Typical Applications

• Smart Cities & Utilities: Deploy resilient outdoor coverage for metering, lighting, and environmental sensor networks at city scale. • Industrial IoT & Remote Sites: Cellular backhaul and an off-grid DC/Battery Plus option keep hard-to-reach sites connected. • Agriculture & Environment: Wide-area LoRaWAN coverage for farms, fields, and distributed monitoring networks. • Network Operators: Build public or private LoRaWAN coverage with carrier-grade reliability and remote fleet management.

Technical Integration

This listing is the 8-channel EU868 model with LTE — here's how it fits a deployment:

• Network servers: Built-in LNS (WisGateOS 2, LoRaWAN 1.0.3); also ChirpStack v3/v4, The Things Stack, AWS IoT Core, and Actility via Basics Station or Packet Forwarder. • Cellular & channels: LTE Cat-4 (Quectel EG95-E) on this 8-channel model; a 16-channel version (dual concentrators, no cellular) also exists in the series. • Power: 802.3af PoE (injector included) or 9–24 V DC with optional Battery Plus — do not connect solar chargers directly (overvoltage can void the warranty). • Antenna: The LoRa antenna is not included and must be ordered separately (Wi-Fi/GPS/LTE antennas are in the box). • Setup help: Talk to the shopioT technical team for antennas, power options, or LNS setup.

Note: the LoRa antenna is not included and must be ordered separately (one for this 8-channel model).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it include a LoRa antenna?

No — the LoRa antenna is sold separately (one for this 8-channel model). LTE, GPS, and Wi-Fi antennas are included in the box.

How is it powered?

Via 802.3af PoE (a PoE injector is included). A DC variant supports 9–24 V DC and Battery Plus for off-grid/solar-backed sites; do not connect solar chargers directly to the device.

Which network servers does it support?

A built-in LoRaWAN network server (1.0.3), plus ChirpStack v3/v4, The Things Stack, AWS IoT Core, and Actility via Basics Station or Packet Forwarder.

Is the cellular option available on all versions?

Cellular (LTE) is available on the 8-channel version, which is the model listed here. The 16-channel version uses dual concentrators without cellular.

Is it suitable for outdoor installation?

Yes — it's an IP65-rated full-metal outdoor gateway with cable glands, surge protection, and external antennas.
