After placing our order for an 'official' TTN Gateway back in July 2016 we finally got our hands on it this week.
Sadly, it seems to be one of a significant number of devices that won't run for more than a minute or two without failing :(

Still, it gives us something to tinker with, and it might even push us back down the track of self-built gateways if we can't make it work reliably!
