Next on the roadmap: getting the first 2 (two) gateways online.
Bucharest has a lot of areas full of rather tall buildings. Many are 9-storey (or more) high, built of reinforced concrete. The metal meshes within the walls could affect seriously the signal propagation.
So, for now we need to experiment a bit, to see how the gateways behave in such an environment.
**How many gateways are needed to get full coverage of the city?**The first active gateways will help answer this questions.
So, [these first gateways will be DIY ones, as shown on GitHub.](https://github.com/mirakonta/lora_gateway/wiki)

The components have arrived, fire-up time coming soon!
