SX1308 - GW platform for less that $100?

Gateways

If I use the FTDI SPI-to-USB translator for the connection of MCU to 1301, What is the influence of latencies or delays?

62

The Heltec pico gateway is available now

63

this GW its not based on a SX1308 and its 470 Mhz.

Hi all,
does anybody of you managed to get a PicoCell reference design USB-LoRa-Concentrator from SEMTECH?
The sales department of SEMTECH always refers me to wholesalers who do not have the USB module and I could not find an article number.
The USB-GW was real cool for PoC and debugging and I got hands on it at ā€˜The Things Conferenceā€™ this year. But we would love to have two or three of these devices.

Real hard to get LoRa-Hardware in Germany, at least for usā€¦

Best regards,
Robert / Plumbum

Hi @nestorayuso the Heltec is only available with 433/470MHz at the moment. 868 and 915 are planed/advertised but not in stock. For Germany we need the 868MHz EU-ISM-Version.
The SEMTECH Picocell was a very easy solution for rapid prototyping and debugging in Amsterdam, but sadly it is not for sale somehowā€¦

You can use our n-fuse LoRaWAN Concentrator Card mPCIe LRWCCx-868-mpcie together with this:

And you have a PicoGW
