Hello @vitaly

Welcome to the forum!
To upgrade the Gateway to 16 channels, you’ll need to buy RAK2247 USB Variant.
Also, you’ll need to buy iPex to N-Type cable, so you can connect the antenna to the new concetrator.
Please write an e-mail at [email protected] for the order.

Hello Martin,

Are you sure that i need RAK2247 USB Variant? The first RAK2247, which is in my gateway is SPI variant. Please see the image.
