They will be compatible in terms of the protocol as seen from nodes (both use LoRaWAN). But the gateways will connect to one network by default, and the nodes will have the key for one network by...

So, again, you can run your own instance of the TTN stack, which will keep data from your own devices completely local and will connect all other devices to their corresponding application server...

Thanks, @turiphro, that helps! So since the communication protocol is common, i.e. my node uses LoRaWAN which is used both by TTN and KPN, I will be able to connect to the gateway (regardless of...

Thanks, @pz1! The Taoglas dipole antenna looks like a good fit and not too expensive $124 at Digikey. I'll do some more digging.

@turiphro, what you say is correct - nodes just send data, and gateways will just forward it (possibly filtering based on device address). Only the "network server" behind the gateway can actually...

@Gaduc, where did this terminology come from? The LoRaWAN 1.0 specification pretty much leaves the internet-side of things unspecified, referring to a "network server" only ("application server" is...
