The RAK Starter Kit is a complete LPWAN solution. It includes everything you need to start your LPWAN network. The included components are sufficient to build your first Gateway and connect your LoRa Node to it.

The gateway comes pre-assembled, out of the box. You only need to update the latest firmware to have a fully functional gateway. It is quick to deploy and open to developers (based on Raspbian).

The WisNode LPWAN is a development board with many GPIOs and an Arduino form factor so you can explore further once the toy has created your first link.

Full documentation for this product is available on the documentation page of our website.
