We are selling a new LoRaWAN GNSS tracker from ST that is ready for prototype usage and is based on the Murata LoRaWAN module with a STM32L072CZ, the Teseo-LIV3F GNSS positioning / geofencing module and various motion and enviromental sensors which include temperature, relative humidity and air pressure.
The tracker evaluation kit includes a LiPo battery that can be charged using a USB Type C cable and comes with a plastic casing. It is CE certified.
At my company, Reece Innovation, weâve been working on a solar panel powered gateway structure for semi-permanent installs.
Well Iâm pleased to share the outcome! Very robust and adaptable, for example you can deploy one or two 100W panels depending on available sun. Our mechanical engineers calculated wind load support to over 120km/h - more if sandbags are added. Battery is safely stored in a locked cabinet.
This is delivered in a kit of parts, IKEA style Feel free to contact me for more details.
Definitely not just an idea. Itâs a fully specced design, down to the individual parts (which we have available). A big difference is weâve also done the calcs to actually prove stability at wind loads - advantage of having mechanical engineers.
Weâre assembling a sample in our factory and will post photos soon. Weâre leave it running.
One other nice thing is we actually can post statistics from the solar charger (which has modbus) over - what else - LoRaWAN. Yes, the rig itself is a node! I think itâs pretty cool and will share more soon, more surprises on the way.
Iâve got a code for a discount of 5% for the Dragino LG308 LoRaWAN Gateway on Tindie. So if you are going to buy one, feel free to use them.
Code: 338FE091
Of course I have tested the LG308 by myself and I think it has the best price-performance ratio for private makers.
Its easy to use, can be easily configured to TTN (or a private LoRaWAN Server) and is ready to use in <15min.
I also compared it to other gateways (Laird, Ursalink and Multitech):
The range and RSSI was quite as good as the Multitech (~800$) and for me better than the Laird and
Ursalink.
For the sake of completeness: Yes, it is an affiliate code. So you get something, I get something. Win Win.
We have decided to include a special offer for hackers and makers:
Our Offer for Hackers and Makers
Are you part of a hackerspace, makerspace or some other community group and want to build a gateway for a non-commercial project that somehow benefits the public (e.g. a public gateway for The Things Network)? We want to support these use cases! Drop us an e-mail at shop@coredump.ch explaining your project to get the backplane 33% cheaper!

Your beloved station bike has certainly been stolen from you. Bike wasnât expensive, but it was yours. With the SolarVeloTracker, you can find your bike again.
This is a small device based on Murataâs CMWX1ZZABZ-078 that uses two IR sensors to detect passage of people across a threshold, like a doorway. The device is capable of detecting the direction of threshold crossing, so keeps track of ingress and egress events seperately. Applications include monitoring human traffic, keeping track of room occupancy, intrusion detection, etc.
The device runs on a 950 mAH coin cell battery or two AAA batteries and lasts up to three years of continuous usage at 10 minute LoRaWAN reporting interval. Typical continuous power usage at this reporting rate is 35 uA.
Edit: In the latest design the IR sensors run at a continuous 50 Hz and draw ~5 uA each. They are set to interrupt the MCU upon threshold crossing, so the system stays in its low power state until interrupted by the sensors. Right now the LoRaWAN Tx is set on a fixed timing interval, but one could switch this to a combination low frequency update, like once per hour or day and a Tx-on-detect kind of scheme for applications where few transits are expected. Lots of possibilities, but the current draw is dominated by the LoRaWAN Tx.
The device is housed in a 2.5 x 2.5 x 1 inch Bud Industries container and is simply mounted via VHB foam tape.
In our initial testing the device has achieved > 95% accuracy.
The device began as a Hackaday.ioproject and we are now commercializing the technology for sale. We have redesigned the prototypes for efficient manufacture and to minimize build costs and have started production and beta testing for prospective customers. Pricing will be set after all production costs are determined but we expect the initial price of each device will be around $60; less at higher volumes.
Iâm glad to share with you the release of RoLaGuard: a free and open source LoRaWAN Operations, Cybersecurity & Compliance Management Platform. Despite being the first release, it has a lot of functionality that can help to manage LoRaWAN networks in an easy and automated way, just plug and play to get real time monitoring, diagnostics and solution information to smoothly run your LoRaWAN networks. Platform Main Capabilities:
Asset Inventory:
-Automatic Inventory of devices and gateways
-Tracking
-Classification by importance and labeling
-Geolocalized Map Visualization
-Drill-Down Analytics
Network Overview:
-Status of gateways and devices
-Lost messages, retransmissions, failed Joins
-Frequency between messages
-Devices by gateway
-Signal Strength and Noise graphics
Automation & Alerts:
-Continuous Monitoring and Alerting with Automatic Risk and Importance Classification
-Event Configuration & Management
-Security and Compliance
-Best Practice, Operation and Security Checks
For the moment RoLaGuard supports The Thing Networks and ChirpStack, but we are working to add more Network Servers. Also, you can develop your own data source connector to add support to your favorite Network Server. Please, take a look, share your feedback and contribute.
Hi! Yes, a big part of LAFâs code was used for the engine of this tool. I know that some rules may not apply to TTN, but this tool wasnât meant only for TTN and this is why we implemented policies so that the user can enable/disable certain checks. Regarding the 4th item, the tool doesnât flag retransmissions as duplicated since it does other checks first.
Feel free to contact me for more details.
