Datasheet
Overview
Descriptions
RAK7289 V2 WisGate Edge Pro is the latest edition of the RAK Edge Series. It is an ideal product for IoT
commercial deployment. With its industrial-grade components, it achieves a high standard of reliability. The new
RAK7289 V2 supports up to 16 LoRa channels, multi-backhaul with Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Cellular connectivity.
Optionally, there is a dedicated port for different power options, solar panels, and batteries. Its new enclosure is
designed to allow the LTE, Wi-Fi, and GPS antennas to be inside the enclosure.

The RAK7289 V2 supports WisGateOS 2, which is based on the latest OpenWRT kernel and accommodates the
latest security updates like IPv6, OpenSSL 1.1 support, multiple accounts access, and more. The web UI has a
fresh new look, with more user-friendly information tooltips.

Simply said, the RAK7289 is suited for any use case scenario, be it rapid deployment or customization with regard
to UI and functionality.

⚠ WARNING
This product is designed to be powered by 12 VDC via a dedicated power port. The use of solar chargers
is prohibited, as they may provide overvoltage and cause damage to the device. We strongly advise
against using such chargers with this product, and any damage resulting from their use will void the
warranty.
