Version |
Connectivity |
Best for |
|---|---|---|
|
RAK7266 |
LTE Cat-1, WiFi, Ethernet |
Sites that need cellular backhaul, backup connectivity, or deployment where wired internet is limited |
|
RAK7266S |
WiFi, Ethernet |
Cost-effective indoor deployments where Ethernet or WiFi is already available |
Both variants support a 12V DC power input. The RAK7266 (cellular version) offers the option to choose between a built-in or external LTE antenna, providing flexibility based on installation requirements.

Indoor Coverage and Deployment Expectations
Indoor LoRaWAN coverage depends on building layout, wall materials, antenna placement, gateway location, interference, and sensor distribution. For best results, place WisGate Soho Lite in a central or elevated indoor location with minimal obstruction around the LoRa antenna.
Before final installation, test coverage across key rooms, floors, or facility zones and adjust gateway placement as needed.
- Place the gateway away from metal cabinets and dense walls where possible.
- Test sensor communication before final mounting.
- Use LTE backhaul when Ethernet is unavailable or unreliable.
- Use WisDM to monitor deployed gateways remotely.
- Consider a higher-grade RAK gateway if the site needs PoE, outdoor IP rating, or wider power input.
This gateway offers reliable LoRaWAN performance for indoor environments where stable and efficient coverage is essential.

Sales tax is required in many states and will be added at checkout if applicable to your delivery state. Tax exempt forms can be sent to our support department.
Return Policy: Due to the high demand for this product, all sales for this product are final and we don’t accept returns for refund unless full brand new, or defective.
Shipping & Returns
Effective September 1, 2026, FREE US shipping available on 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 labor 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.
