I need a guide on how to select the right gateway for my lorawan product. Am Designing a Lora based device using the STM32WL family series. Stm32 Lora SoC, I need help in gateway selection process. For now I just need a little gateway I can use to prototype the product. @Edge Networking @PCB & Analog

I personally like the wm1302 one atm that seeed studio has tbh
Great I will check it out. Will it work with the STM32 Lora family? And how can I do the configuration
Should work with most lora stuff
I used a pi with it though I know someone used a esp32 for it on the things network forum before
Lora stuff is pretty standard once you use the right frequency
Box is a bit hard to see but the lorawan hat is the board connected to the black wire
I have it setup as a packet forwarder pretty much though
Ok thanks I will need your help later ok 🙏
It'd a deep rabbithole when you start tbh
I have mine hooked up to the things network to help with coverage for it
You shouldn't have any compatibility issues. Most important is selecting the right frequency for your region. If your gateway is just used as a "packet forwarder" for low volume traffic, any will work fine. If you need to embed your LoRaWAN Network Server on the gateway then you'll need a higher end product. Also, some gateways have better range performance and better high traffic performance, but if you're just doing some small system testing that won't be an issue.
Great thanks.
Yep
As long as you use the right frequency he gateway itself is pretty reliable
Hmm did someone just ping me
