I discovered about TheThingsNetwork (TTN) few days ago and I have been literally hit by this tremendous idea.
Do you know if there is anything brewing somewhere in Italy?
The real question however is about TTN and spectrum usage regulations.
I have checked the frequencies used by the LoRaWAN standard. Which is the one used by the Things Gateways?
Actually I am not sure how 2-way digital communications are regulated in Italy - outside the radio amateur bands, I will investigate that.
I assume anybody installing a gateway in his own house, should be allowed by law to transmit data at 10Km distance.
Is it similar to LPDs?
Thanks for any info
