New Module for LoRa®, Real Deployments, Field Tools & Event Invites
Welcome to the RAKwireless Bulletin – September 2025 Edition.
This month, we’re highlighting real deployments, breakthrough modules, and major industry events. Our technology is driving real-world impact — from solar-powered gateways for LoRaWAN® that irrigate remote farms to WisGateOS extensions that tackle everyday challenges in the field.
Let’s dive into the updates!
New Hardware: Powerful Modules, Smarter Devices
RAK3112 WisDuo Module for Edge AI with LoRa: The Next-Gen IoT Building Block
We’re excited to launch the RAK3112 WisDuo Module for Edge AI with LoRa, a new module built around the ESP32-S3 and SX1262 LoRa transceiver. It offers:
- LoRa + WiFi + BLE connectivity
- Edge ML support via TensorFlow Lite Micro
- GUI-ready display integration
- WisBlock compatibility for plug-and-play builds
- 16MB Flash + 8MB PSRAM for large apps and OTA
- Meshtastic MUI support
Whether you're building wearable communicators, intelligent sensors, or GUI-powered devices, this new module delivers more compute, memory, and flexibility.
Use Case Highlights: 11 Years, 11 Real Deployments
As we celebrate our 11th year, we're commemorating our journey by showcasing real-world use cases.
Use Case #1: Smarter Livestock Farming in Rural Regions
In the rural regions of Australia and New Zealand, the RAK7285 Full-Duplex Gateway delivers stable LoRaWAN connectivity across remote pastures, supporting better livestock management and healthier herds.
Use Case #2: Building the Backbone for Smarter Farming
Across vineyards in Spain and New Zealand, over 1,000 solar-powered WisGate gateways ensure long-range coverage for stem sensors, weather stations, and more without relying on grid power.
Use Case #3: Smart Oilfield Monitoring in Uzbekistan
In Uzbekistan and beyond, our Solar Gateways support leak detection and equipment health in extreme conditions where uptime is critical.
Use Case #4: Smart Irrigation in Gansu, China
In the hills of Gansu, potato farms are watered through the night using smart controllers with RAK3172 STM32WLE5 Module for LoRaWAN and WisGate Edge Pro RAK7289V2. A true blend of automation, efficiency, and long-range communication.
Use Case #5: A Small Gateway, A Global Goal
From the UK to Brazil, our WisGate Edge Pro RAK7289V2 and RAK Battery Plus RAK9155 are helping utility providers tackle leak detection, enable smart metering, and modernize water systems for climate resilience.
More use cases coming soon. Follow us on LinkedIn so you don’t miss a story.
