Gateway function

  • Gateways receive LoRa modulated data packets conforming to

the LoRaWAN specification

  • Add metadata (frequency, spreading factor, SNR, RSSI, (wall)

time received, timestamp)

  • Forward to back-end
  • Receive packets with metadata (frequency, spreading factor,

timestamp andof course data)

  • Forward to radio at the appropriate time for transmission (JIT)

Gateway hardware

  • Gateways cover at least 8 channels.
  • Most gateways are based on embedded Linux system, the

Things Network Gateway being a notable exception.

  • All gateways require a decent antenna and proper antenna

placement!

  • Don’t expect 15 km range from an indoor gateway with ½ wave

whip antenna in a city

Gateway software

  • Gateway requires a ‘packet forwarder’ that receives the data

and forwards it (from radio to network and v.v.)

  • Some forwarders allow connection to multiple backends, take

care when using as this might result in airtime restriction violations!

  • Packet forwarders are dumb:
  • they do not filter packets in any way (a gateway does not know which

packets are valid within the network)

  • they can not decrypt the data (keys are not known)

Workshop Steps (self-paced)

  • Install required tools / create accounts
  • Flash resin.io image to SD card
  • Get prebuild software template
  • Push template to resin.io to have it build the software
  • Wait for gateway to get the software and ‘activate’

References for gateway software

For Linux based systems there are a couple of options:

  • Semtech reference implementation

https://github.com/Lora-net/lora_gateway

  • TTN packet forwarder (development frozen)

https://github.com/Lora-net/lora_gateway

  • Poly Packet forwarder
