Not if the question is if it can be used for a commercial application on TTN and we’ve already done that topic to death with the OP last week on a different item.
For ‘will it work, is it any good’, if nothing comes up on the search, then fine.
But not for “can I use this for a commercial application on TTN” again.
For clarity, here’s the original thread:
and it would seem that @prajwalshetty has clearly not availed himself of the documentation links previously provided.
That seems a rather small and functionally trivial part of the question, which as you point out has already been well covered.
What hasn’t been covered and is fully on topic and appropriate is if the Microchip kit’s gateway is suitable for use on TTN.
It’s really not in the community network’s best interest to be telling people to figure that out on their own - as amply demonstrated by all the SCPF arguments.
Do you want to rely on Microchip’s word if a gateway is suitable for TTN? I believe we have current threads on how Dragino’s or Adafruits instructions for connecting non-compliant non-gateways to TTN must be disregarded.
I’m not aware of any actual reasons why the Microchip gateway would be unsuitable for TTN. But it’s a fully legitimate question that should matter to the community even more than it does to the asker.
And we are all on the same page on that.
But you quoted my response to a part of the thread dealing with the commercial aspects.
In addition, it is forum policy to encourage searches of both the forum, the vendors documentation and the web in general rather than taking laundry lists of homework from those who have not shown any visible effort to do so.
And I did not suggest the OP figure it out on their own, I asked “what does the documentation say”.
The documentation has an RF switch with two inbound paths, one through an LNA and the other through what might be an RF PA which makes the inbound arrow direction a bit odd. Do you know definitively what that means?
I don’t. And I build gateways.
Unlike the asker I feel I have a pretty good sense what to look for in a gateway platform, but even I’d defer to actual user reports of that box - not just for RF but with regard to how it delegates the SX1301 through some MCU.
If someone says “what does this bit of the documentation mean”, again, all good.
The only reason I even thought to pay attention to that part of the documentation is that I’m aware it’s an area where one of their competitors - ST - got things wrong.
Please try to think about this strategically: being clear about what devices should or shouldn’t be registered as gateways on TTN benefits the community far more than it benefits the asker.
Yup, do that, hence all the responses on SCPF’s
Please try to think strategically about encouraging people to help themselves - if we just answer every spontaneous question, the quality of the forum content will suffer badly.
