Hello All IOTian's,
I have been interested in setting up and a small IOT community here in India. In the past I have used ESP8266, but due to limited coverage it didn't turn out to be a successful project.
Recently I came to know about LoRa/LoRaWAN and started researching on it. It is exactly what I and all the IOT world looking for. Planned to order all the hardware necessary to build gateway/concentrator and nodes. But faced a new hurdle. In India 865 MHz to 867 MHz is open and not the 868 MHz on which all the transceivers are based. Now from what I have read from the data sheet of SX1276, I can program the chips to run on 867 MHz. Is it right? Can RN2483 be programmed for 867 MHz?
My next problem, I will be using iC880A-SPI – LoRaWAN Concentrator 868MHz or mCard with Raspberry Pi for the gateway. If some how I manage to set my nodes to transmit on 867 MHz, will iC880A/mCard be able to receive it. Perhaps it too can be programmed to listen to 867 MHz?
I want to make sure I order right stuff, because as of yet we don't get these things in India and import duty is a heavy.
I will appreciate if this community will help me build IOT for India.
"Shukriya" (Indian way to say Thank you)
