Usually ready in 1 hour
BACnet Gateway for LoRaWAN RAK7437 bridges wireless LoRaWAN sensors with existing BACnet/IP building and industrial automation systems—without changing established architectures.
It exposes LoRaWAN sensor data as native BACnet/IP objects, while simultaneously forwarding the same data via MQTT for analytics, monitoring, or cloud platforms.
Designed for permanent installations, RAK7437 runs WisGateOS 2 (OpenWRT-based) and delivers predictable behavior, long-term stability, and controlled system growth.
- Native BACnet/IP object exposure (no proprietary middleware)
- Parallel BACnet/IP and MQTT data paths
- Built-in frame buffering for network interruptions
- IP30 industrial enclosure with PoE and wide DC input
- Designed for cabinets, control rooms, and field enclosures
Who Is BACnet Gateway for LoRaWAN RAK7437 Designed For?
-
Building owners and facility managers
Expand sensor coverage while preserving existing BACnet/IP logic, graphics, alarms, and schedules. -
System integrators and automation engineers
Deliver predictable LoRaWAN-to-BACnet integrations with stable object mapping and controlled polling behavior. -
Industrial operators and infrastructure teams
Deploy wireless sensing alongside wired automation systems under continuous, long-term operation. -
Retrofit and modernization projects
Add sensors for LoRaWAN where rewiring is impractical, cost-prohibitive, or operationally risky. -
Organizations requiring parallel data access
Use BACnet/IP for BMS operation and MQTT for analytics or cloud platforms without coupling the two.
Why You Need an Industrial LoRaWAN BACnet Gateway
- System continuity: Extends existing infrastructure without altering current automation logic
- Operational reliability: Maintains data delivery during network interruptions
- Deployment flexibility: Adapts to varied sites and backhaul constraints
How it works:
- LoRaWAN sensors send data wirelessly to BACnet Gateway for LoRaWAN RAK7437.
- The gateway decodes the data and maps each sensor to a BACnet/IP object.
- The building management system discovers and polls these objects like wired devices.
What stays unchanged:
- Existing BACnet logic and control rules.
- Graphics, alarms, schedules, and trends.
- Certified BMS workflows and commissioning processes.
BACnet Data Point Mapping
RAK7437 uses a standardized BACnet data point model that is decoupled from individual LoRaWAN devices.
- Each LoRaWAN sensor is mapped to predefined BACnet object types
- BACnet object IDs and naming remain stable over time
- Sensor replacement does not require BMS reconfiguration
As a result, sensor replacement or upgrades do not require:
- Reconfiguration of BACnet objects
- Changes to BMS logic or rules
- Updates to existing dashboards or graphics
This approach simplifies maintenance and reduces engineering effort throughout the system lifecycle.
BACnet Access Control
- Supports BACnet device whitelisting.
- Only authorized BACnet clients are allowed to read data from the gateway.
- Prevents unauthorized device access on the BACnet network.
Performance Characteristics
- Designed to handle high-frequency and batch BACnet read requests.
- Maintains stable response behavior under large data point loads.
- Preserves consistent BACnet object mapping during continuous operation.
Parallel BACnet and MQTT Data Architecture

BACnet Gateway for LoRaWAN RAK7437 provides two independent data paths from the same LoRaWAN sensor data.
-
BACnet/IP path:
Delivers native BACnet objects to the building management system for polling, alarms, and trending.
-
MQTT path:
Forwards the same data to cloud platforms, analytics tools, or monitoring systems.
These data paths are isolated. Changes to the MQTT configuration do not affect BACnet behavior. Local buffering preserves data during network outages.
Use Case #1: Industrial Retrofit with BACnet Integration
A facilities team faced limited sensor coverage and manual readings. Sensors for LoRaWAN added via the gateway increased data points by 3×. BACnet mapping tested via staged reads showed <2% latency variance. Production ran continuously.
Use Case #2: Distributed Monitoring Across Multiple Sites
Across five sites, baseline data loss averaged 8%. After deployment, buffered forwarding reduced loss to under 0.5%, validated through week-long packet audits. Rollout followed identical configurations. This approach demonstrated how a single industrial IoT gateway for buildings can support standardized monitoring across distributed locations.

Shipping & Returns
FREE Standard shipping on all orders shipped in the USA!
*Effective September 1, 2026, free shipping applies to all orders $20 and over, with a $4.95 shipping charge on orders below $20
For over 20 years we've been able to offer free sitewide shipping in the USA, but with the latest massive postage rate hike, we are unable to do so on smaller value orders. Rate changes from USPS on July 12, 2026 erased ounce based pricing, so now a 2 ounce item ships at the same rate as a 2 lb one, in some cases almost double the cost.
We know shipping charges are not a fun experience, so we will still offer free shipping on all orders over $20.00 USD. For orders below this value, a flat $4.95 shipping assistance charge will apply. In many cases our actual ship cost will be higher, but by collecting this amount we can continue to offer low prices on smaller items like connectors and pigtails.
We are in Florida and ship to: USA, Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and other countries (see full list in cart).
Local pickup available in Gainesville, FL
Expedited shipping orders placed before 3PM EST weekdays will ship that day. Standard shipping orders ship within 1-2 business days.
Sales tax: shipments shipped to states in which we are registered to collect tax will have appropriate tax added at checkout. Tax exempt forms can be sent to our support staff who can activate exemption status.
Lost packages and insurance
Hawaii & International Shipping:
While Hawaii is not international, packages from our Florida location with free standard shipping may take up to a month. We suggest purchasing expedited air shipping for Hawaii (note batteries cannot be shipped by Air). International shipping options are visible in cart by using the shipping estimator. Transit times posted are estimates. International packages are subject to customs holds and duty payment may be required by your government on delivery. The cost of duty is not reimbursable. International shipping charges are not refundable in the event of a return.
Returns
See item description for product specific return policies, and return policies vary by item.
Bulk/High Value Order Returns
Due to the labour required to package and ship bulk orders, as well as cost and stock issues involved in replenishing items, bulk orders of 5 pieces or more are not returnable unless the equipment is defective or mis-advertised, or a return period is pre-negotiated. For non-defective returns over $500, a restocking fee may be deducted from the refund to cover bank or card processing fees.
Backorder/Preorder
Items on back order or pre-order will ship as estimated on the item page. You can cancel an order any time up until shipment. Orders with expedited shipping will arrive in the advertised time after the order ships, not after the order is placed.
Cancellations
If you want to cancel an order, please email or call us at (352) 372-9902. If your item has not been shipped, we will cancel the order and provide a full refund.
