Inside the RAK7289v2 LoRa Gateway & TTN Setup Tutorial (part 2)

High quality PCB Services pcbway.com Catch Part 2 of our LoRa Gateway installation journey on Voltlog! If you missed the first part, check the description for the link where we discussed crucial equipment selections and installation considerations.
In this episode, we embark on an intriguing teardown of the RAK7289v2 gateway, exploring its internal components. Witness how the design incorporates multiple antennas and layered metal shielding, providing stability, grounding, and minimizing electronic interference.
Delve deeper into the gateway's core components - from the RAK634 WiFi Module to the RK5146 LoRa Concentrator and the RAK8213 LTE module. We uncover an unpopulated module, RAK4289, potentially for BLE connectivity. The focus shifts to the gateway's power input circuitry, examining various components to ensure compatibility with different voltage inputs.

Good videos! Is there a part three installation video somewhere?

[@Indra-pr6bh]

That's MP2233 from Monolithic Power Systems

6:21 Datasheet info confirms package marking "AEU", pinout seems to match connections on the PCB, package size matches. Thanks, this seems right. 16V max operating input with 17V absolute maximum. Should be good with my good quality inverter from VictronEnergy running from a 12V lead acid.

There shouldn't be any limitation, this gateway can communicate with all Lora devices.
