The RAK7266/RAK7266S WisGate Soho Lite is an indoor LoRaWAN® gateway from the RAK Soho Series, designed for versatile and compact IoT deployments. The gateway supports 8 LoRa channels and includes 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for easy local confi guration through the default Wi-Fi AP mode. An Ethernet port is available for wired network access when needed. For Ethernet- and Wi-Fi-based indoor deployments, the RAK7266S provides a compact non-LTE option. For cellular variants, LTE antennas may be internal or external, allowing users to select the best option for signal conditions and installation constraints. The RAK7266/RAK7266S runs on WisGateOS 2 , a secure and modular fi rmware based on OpenWrt and developed by RAK. It provides access to a wide range of features, including extension modules, a built-in LoRaWAN® Network Server, and advanced system diagnostics. It also supports WisDM for centralized device management and remote monitoring.
