Iā€™m looking forward to kicking things off and getting Melbourneā€™s LoRa network happening.
Thereā€™s no doubt LoRa is going to be a big dealā€¦ Check out this new product from Adafruit:

This is an interesting topic to check out on this forum:

This is a great introduction to LoRaWAN written by Daghan:

Hi guys, No posts here in over a year so maybe Iā€™m calling out into an empty space, but Iā€™m interested in getting together to talk about running LoRa gateways in Victoria. I work with blockchain technology, specifically, proof of location. Anybody here? Cheers

Cool xnet. Do you follow FOAM?

14

I donā€™t believe so?

15

Have you looked into what they are doing? Perhaps it might be interesting to you.
I am a cartographer on their platform.

What Spectrum are is the Melbourne TTN community using? Iā€™m using AU915 for my home router. My LoRa device is not connecting today in the CBD and there is no way of knowing - that I can tell - what the CBD routers are configured for?

Did you get it working?!

Here is a blurb from the things network about the correct spectrum:

In Australia, The Things Network uses both the LoRaWAN AU915 band plan and (more recently) the AS923 bandplan. See https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/wiki/LoRaWAN/Frequencies. Your region can use either one of these (or both).

For AU915, we use Frequency Sub Band 2, also known as channels 8-15, or 916.8MHz through to 918.2MHz.
AS923 doesnā€™t require a bandplan setting, but we recommend using AS920-923, aka AS1 aka 922.0 - 923.4MHz.

If configuring a gateway, select meshed-router. If configuring an application, select meshed-hander (under Settings).
Also, use the Australia console (https://console.thethings.meshed.com.au/), especially if you want to use an Integration.

Apart from that, configuration is as per the DOCS page at https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/

I am running a PoC and want to buy a chirping chip and a gateway. Anyone in Melbourne sell them? No worries if not, Iā€™ll order online. Just checking if I can pick up a getaway/chip pair quickly this week.

Hi, I am pretty new in the IoT area and I am looking for information about a project I have in mind. is it possible to ā€œrentā€ a gateway in Melbourne City to send data through it?

Thanks for your help
