How Our Modular Vision for IoT Began
RAKwireless began with a goal: simplify IoT for developers. Hardware complexity often slows innovation, so we created WisBlock—a modular system combining sensors, computing, and connectivity to streamline IoT solutions.
Real IoT in a Box: IoT Made Simple
With the Real IoT Solutions Marketplace (RISM), deploying IoT is effortless. Our all-in-one kits include sensors, connectivity, and dashboards, ready to tackle real-world challenges like monitoring condensation, CO₂ levels, and air quality. Setup is as easy as scanning a QR code, helping industries from logistics to smart buildings achieve quick, impactful results.
RAKwireless Achieves ISO9001 and ISO27001 Certifications
Our Shenzhen factory has officially earned ISO9001 (Quality Management) and ISO27001 (Information Security) certifications through a rigorous audit by LRQA, a globally respected authority.
This milestone reflects our commitment to real, embedded quality and security standards—not shortcuts. Since early 2024, our team has integrated ISO principles into our operations, including ERP and MES systems, ensuring traceability and consistent quality control.
