RAK7285 WisGate Outdoor LoRAaWAN Gateway Edge Ultra Full-duplex
RAK7285 WisGate Outdoor LoRAaWAN Gateway Edge Ultra Full-duplex
The RAK7285 WisGate Edge Ultra Full-duplex is RAK's latest LoRaWAN gateway, designed to overcome the limitations of half-duplex communication. It's tailored to meet the demands of high-density network deployments, particularly for smart city infrastructure, metering applications, and other scenarios requiring reliable two-way communication at scale.
Whether it's managing large-scale solar PV stations, ensuring real-time livestock tracking on farms, controlling smart city lights, or optimizing solar tracker systems, the RAK7285 offers reduced latency, increased throughput, and superior collision management. Its integrated advanced cavity filter provides exceptional out-of-band interference suppression, while built-in lightning protection ensures uninterrupted, secure full-duplex communication.
Why Full-duplex: Full-duplex communication offers several advantages over half-duplex in various contexts:
- Full-duplex allows simultaneous transmission and reception of data, enabling faster and more efficient communication compared to the sequential nature of half-duplex.
- Full-duplex systems typically exhibit superior collision management capabilities, as they can transmit and receive data concurrently, minimizing the risk of collisions and improving overall reliability.
- Full-duplex offers reduced latency and increased throughput, making it ideal for scenarios requiring real-time data exchange and high-speed data transfer.
