=== Research ===
We decided in the [[20161009 Plenum#Buying_more_stuff.3F|Plenum]] to buy a LoRaWAN gateway for the space. However, we don't really know kind of gateway to get. Let's figure out what kinds exist today.

Just some thoughts. The difficult parts to get seem to be the RF modules for a LoRaWAN gateway. How about building one with a SDR? We have a few badges from the last CCCamp at the space, which work like an HackRF...

LoRaWAN is an RF standard for IoT devices to connect to the internet.


The Things Network Munich

We are a official The Things Network Community. There's a regular meetup in the third Week (one Evening) each month, 19:00, at the MuMaLab (online via Jitsi since Covid19).

We are gathering money for community operated gateways, infrastructure and our brand new Application Platform: Patreon Page

Water Checks

TTN Mapping

ttnmapper.org allows to create a coverage map of the TTN LoRaWAN network. You can take a LoRaWAN node, either with integrated GPS, or pair it with a smartphone, and gather coverage data.

A node with GPS is nice, because it's more independent. An ideal candidate is the TTGO T-Beam dev board, which combines an ESP32, GPS module and a LoRa module, as well as a battery and potentially an OLED display as well.

Note that there are different versions of the T-Beam board, requiring different Pin settings.
