They never really were part of it. These gateways are barely used.

can't argue with that

Yeah we now support 1.5M devices with our community network and enterprise network. And the most successful ones sent the least amount of data. Here is a list of all the supported devices: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/de

The added this line to their LoRA Github though: "(For the radio communication technique, see LoRa.)"

Why did the moderator remove the distance? That is like the main fun message.

by wienke 3y ago
Yes, this is an outlier and it took around 8 years for this to be emerge and be detected by the community run TTN mapper initiative. The main fun thing about this is more that it shows how cool it is to have a global community network where

Yes, this was 868MHz

So it takes more than 5 dollars. You also need a gateway but you can get these for 99 dollars. Still this technology has a very low barrier to entry for such a long range and low power capability.

What is astroturf? If I Google it I see fake grass.

by wienke 3y ago
Good point. We'll add that to the next post if there is a new record. Also what can be confusing is that the business viable part is even much smaller than the technical viable part. The low power operations is really only at lower SF7

Go for it! These communities are pretty active so you can also join one of their events.

That is pretty cool. You might want to try again with 2.4Ghz LoRa. Range is shorter but still longer than 868mhz. If you search 2.4Ghz LoRa on our Youtube channel you'll find some interesting content on that.

Recently somebody created this guide to turn your Helium gateway (running on a RPi) to a TTN gateway: https://medium.com/@friedkiwi/repurposing-helium-iot-hotspot...

So people that are not known here have nothing interesting to share? Recipe for an echo chamber.

Ah thanks for the education. I updated my profile. Will try to gain more karma to gain more respect.

How would that exactly work?

km are better though :)

If you want to know more Thomas Telkamp used that Telescope for a nice experiment and bounced a LoRa message on the moon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIdCzvLWCEc

Sorry, I am here in all transparency. Not really hard to find out though as my first name and TTN are quite a unique pair.

There are already 89 gateways in Vienna you can directly use. So nothing is holding you back :) https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/community/vienna/

For sure would be great but LoRa has limitations as it is designed for small sensors that sent very little data: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/lorawan/limitations/

So the point of the article is that if you decide something now it will effect how the world looks in 50 years. The picture with the 2000 vision shows how others thought at that time. If the Dutch would have chosen that path, it now would l

I don't see the same. And also have a biased opinion on the excessive amount of public space it takes in a crowded city. A speeding bike needs much more room to break for instance. And notifying the entire neighborhood about at VanMoof

Yeah, for some tourists this is actually confusing because many times the biking lanes are confused with sidewalks and then get very soon notified in a Dutch way by the locals :)

In the complete spectrum it is a budget e-bike right? The proper ones are much more expensive.
