RAK7431 Networking Applications
RAK7431 can convert the data of RS485 devices into LoRaWAN™ that can be sent to the
cloud via a standard LoRaWAN™ Gateway. Cloud servers can also actively send data to
RS485 terminals to achieve two-way data transmission. Using RAK7431, what used to be a
costly and time-consuming cable line network deployment can be transformed into a rapid
and cost-efficient wireless network deployment.
An example would be using the RAK7249 LoRaWAN™ Gateway coupled with the RAK
WisDM cloud management platform, in order to realize an end-to-end industrial field data
acquisition and control system. Using the built-in LoRa® Server, that comes standard with
any RAK LoRaWAN™ Gateway, one could seamlessly achieve transmission of the end
device data to any application server. Furthermore, the MQTT integration allows for a high
level of security and efficiency.
