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

Gateway

Research

We decided in the 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.

Prebuilt

DIY

SDR

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...

Some links I found:
