That's probably not easy; see Single-channel Gateway with RN2483? (And please continue there for specifics about that setup.) As you still cannot test if you only have a gateway without a node, why...

arjanvanb: But unfortunately this also shows that higher might not always be better. If this would have been a real node, and all its packets would be received by many gateways far away, then such...

In a little experiment with a 100 meters high node last week, SF7 packets were received almost 50 km away in line-of-sight. I was expecting that to happen for SF12 packets (which were even received 73...

@Rob65, I've moved my thoughts/concerns to Best position for a gateway. (And nice comments about that antenna being close to the metal pole!)
View ArticleHow to make RN2483 node use a fixed channel and spreading factor?
Hi, For use with a single channel gateway, I want my node to use a fixed channel and spreading factor. I think it is possible to do this if I look into the RN2483 Command Reference. Example in the...

I think I misunderstood you a bit. You would need to change your Libelium node to only use a single channel and a fixed "spreading factor" (SF or data rate) though: "normal" nodes change channel...

Best position for a gateway
The gateway position depends a lot on the type of antenna used.The Taoglass antenna has a 5 dBi gain and there are other antennas up to 9 dBi gain. Now we need to ask how these antennas work. A normal...

The Libelium board being based on a RN2483 I don't think you can easily use it as a gateway, as explained in Single-channel Gateway with RN2483. Next, if you want to create a gateway that is not using...

arjanvanb: could 100 meters be too high if the number of nodes increases...? In the (near) future there will be more gateways. When gateways are cheap enough you'll see gateways every 1 km or less...

Rob65: Only few gateways will be placed outdoors at high places for long range use. These will make sure that we indeed have a 100% coverage of a given area. That's what I wonder about: if many nodes...

arjanvanb: if many nodes happen to reach a highly positioned gateway (regardless if these nodes also reach other, close-by, gateways) That's the big trick of a good LoRaWAN network. The ADR (Adaptive...

I'm probably stating the obvious, but here goes... The TTN Gateway should allow one to limit its Internet bandwidth usage. For example, I'd like my gateway to use up to 2 Mb/s upload, and up to 10...
