The 8 GB Raspberry Pi 5 is the reference platform for serious edge computing: enough RAM to run concurrent Docker containers (ChirpStack, Node-RED, InfluxDB, Grafana) on a single board, or to serve as a multi-tenant LoRaWAN gateway with local ML inference using TensorFlow Lite or ONNX Runtime.

Kawkav Platform Integration — Deploy this board as a LoRaWAN gateway concentrator or edge processing node for Kawkav Campo (ChirpStack + ThingsBoard). Run sensor-fusion workloads, MQTT brokers, or Node-RED flows locally, reducing cloud round-trips for time-critical agricultural or industrial telemetry. Full remote management via Kawkav's managed SSH tunnels and monitoring stack.
