Introduction
1.1
The RAK7243 Pilot Gateway Pro is a device that consists of Raspberry Pi 3B+,
RAK2245 Pi HAT which includes a GPS module and a Heat Sink for better
performance and thermal heat dissipation management. And it's housing is built with an
aluminum casing. Raspberry Pi 3B+ can support many functions, for marketing
purpose, this module only support/enable USB port and Ethernet port in US, the other
functions( 2.4G WiFi,5G WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI port, Audio port) have been forbidden
by the manufacturer's software.
For the build-in RAK2245 Pi HAT, it uses the SX1301 chip from Semtech which built-in
LoRa concentrator IP core is a powerful digital signal processing engine. It is able to
receive up to 8 LoRa packets simultaneously sent with different spreading factors on
different channels and available in multiple variants so it can be used for internartinal
standard bands. This unique capability allows to implement innovative network
architectures advantageous over other short range systems. It follows Raspberry Pi
4
specifications and is easy to mount with Raspberry Pi and RAK2245 Pi HAT module.
Pilot Gateway Pro is ideal for prototyping, proof-of-concept demonstration or for the
evaluation. It includes a ready to use LoRaWan Gateway OS that can be connected to
a LoRaWan server. Also it is developer friendly and simple even for no-so-techy users
to set up LoRaWan system. It has to be the best value and function for connectivity to
address a variety of applications like Smart Grid, Intelligent Farm and other IoT
enterprise applications.
