Public Community Network

Use the decentralized and collaborative network, counting thousands of gateways around the world, used by tens of thousands of developers and businesses to build value-driving use cases. Use the gateways that are already installed, or add additional gateways where additional coverage is needed.

Software as a Service

Get in touch

On-Site

Build a carrier-grade LoRaWAN Network on-site and make sure your data won’t ever leave the physical site. Build the network offline or install the network server on the gateway itself.
