- High quality PCB Services pcbway.com Explore the world of LoRaWAN technology as we embark on a journey to build and install a robust gateway connected to The Things Network! 🌐🔧
In this video, I delve into the intricacies of setting up a LoRaWAN gateway, a vital component for long-range, low-power communication. Discover the process of installation, starting with the assessment of public gateway availability in your area. Follow along as I share my experiences with different gateway models, from the popular MikroTik wAP LoRa8 to the game-changing RAK Wireless gateway.
Get an exclusive insight into the hardware components required for an efficient rooftop installation aimed at maximizing coverage. From the RAK7289 V2 outdoor gateway with multiple channel options to high-quality antennas, cables, and weatherproofing essentials, I walk you through each critical component choice.

Moreover, I shed light on the decision-making process behind selecting a DIY solar solution over RAK's smart battery pack, detailing battery type, solar panel capacity, and the MPPT charger for optimal performance.
Join me in the upcoming episodes as I demonstrate the actual rooftop installation and configuration steps required to link our gateway to The Things Network. Share your experiences with LoRaWAN gateways in the comments below and stay tuned for more insights into this fascinating technology!

This looks really interesting!
Interesting project, love it
I love Mamaia!!!....hope to see more of the LoRaWAN project....and that RAK7289 looks inside... a teardown if you can.
nice area you live!
Really awesome topic.
Went with Seeed Lora gateway. Also needs enclosure. 2 min setup for TTN. Using for personal projects right now.
Awesome to hear more success stories, thanks!
Interested to see your issues with Mikrotik. I have been running RBwAPR for about 2 years without issues. Connected to TTN in EU as well.
I know many people are running mikrotik gear. It's not really a problem with the running part but rather the pain of config. It's like they're stuck in the past on the config part which is as difficult as it can get.
@@voltlog The network techs where I work comment that the Mikrotik stuff is way easier to set up compared to Cisco.
I don't have any experience with Cisco other than looking over the shoulder of a gray beard that typed commands into a cmd line to setup a very expensive cisco router. What I can say is that in my video we should not compare the setup experience of gear that is destined for general public use with gear that is destined for professional install.
An average user will never get a cisco router to install in their home or not even in a small business. They are just too expensive, too complicated and too overkill for that. Whereas an average user can get a mikrotik or rakwireless product to install in their home, the price range is similar so it's a more likely scenario.
Could you share the installation box manufacturer and provider?
Thank you!
Pretty interesting project indeed! I wish you a lot of success, dude! 😃
All I "understand" about LoRa is how to bind an ExpressLRS receiver to the transmitter. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks! 😃
The Mikrotik setting up to the Things network was easy, getting RAK as a gateway was also easy to things network. Getting the RAK unit to run ChirpStack Server that is the difficult ONE!!
i have 20 nodes sending data once every second. can this gateway handle it?
Really informing. Thank you. I live in an area with a lot off home farmers; with hydroponic gardens scattered over the area, Iot + sensors and this would be great. The box is very interesting , can you add a link into your comment?
Part number and description for the IP65 box is "Comtec MF0015-40080, IP65, 600x400x200" However the product distribution might be limited to a certain list of countries. I'm sure you can find something equivalent from a local company though.
@@voltlog hi, really weird I did receive this night the response notification. Anyway, thank you very much.
Don't forget to put some grease on those rubber gaskets! Also, will hot temperature be an issue in the completely sealed plastic box?
Thanks for the tip! It will mostly be sitting in the shade under a ledge but that's a valid concern. I will be having a small lora generic node doing temperature / humidity measurements so I'll be able to check remotely.
Your closing comment about Ubiquity was amusing. I outfitted my home with Ubiquity gear after reading how wonderful it is. After the initial setup, I've been entirely unable to access the equipment again. The browser-based control system only returns certificate errors and refuses to load the UI, no matter what permissions I allow or how many times I install the certificates. Utterly useless!
For maximum compatibility you should acces it through their Web/cloud interface which ensures no issues with the certificates.
Although annoying it is normal for a locally hosted web page to have issues with the certificates.. This should not prevent you from accessing it. I can still access mine even if Chrome shows a warning about the invalid certificate.
Wouldn't using a normal cellular network work out a lot cheaper? You can get a basic sim for peanuts here in the UK (£3/month) with more than enough data allowance to suit the kind of low/limited bandwidth situations Lora is designed for. All this Lora kit seems to add up to so much time and money in comparison. Just curious as to why you went this route, particularly if it's for commercial customers?
Great video, as usual, btw. :)
LoRa is low power, cellular is not. You can have sensors running for years on small batteries transmitting occasionally over LoRa which you can't do with cellular.
