IoT applications usually require interdisciplinary collaboration between different disciplines during development and implementation.

With WisBlock, RAKwireless created a system accompanying the entire development path to the finished device using industrial-grade yet cost-effective components. Additionally, it offers the possibility to integrate components of prototyping systems from third-party providers into WisBlock.

With these systems, you can solve various tasks. Still, many steps are necessary to get a finished device, e.g., autonomy usable as a sensor node in harsh environments, which can be tedious.

True to the philosophy „IoT Made Easy,“ RAKwireless has ensured with WisBlock that this new solution is as simple as Click – Code – Connect!

Continuing this design philosophy, based on WisBlock, RAKwireless developed the RAK2560 WisNode SensorHub.

RAKwireless SensorHub is a modular ecosystem consisting of the main body and multiple pre-configured sensor probes. With pluggable, interchangeable probes and the option to add third-party sensors to the system, the Sensor Hub is a suitable and versatile solution platform for various IoT applications where environmental monitoring is needed outdoors.

The SensorHub can work battery-powered by non-rechargeable or solar-powered batteries or with an external power supply, depending on the application and deployment location.

For data transmission into Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN), LoRaWAN is available. Alternatively, NB-IoT can be used.

As a typical low-code system, it essentially requires configuration with the WisToolBox app from a cell phone.
