Bonjour / Hi Montreal community. Are you still alive? ---

Still alive and well! A new gateway is available on Nun’s Island. Running a fully equiped POE powered Raspberry Pi with a RAK2245 hat located in my attic. For a better coverage, the gateway is equiped with an external Taoglas antenna. Get your trackers going, so we can see how far you reach this gateway. Let’s build a strong community in Montréal!

This antenna was lying around where I was working. But you can get these from Digikey. ---

You are lucky! I will try to improve coverage on Plateau Mont Royal… ---

Still alive here in Montreal, although the official TTN Community seems dormant. We operate a few gateways around the city, one is outdoor in Pointe Claire. We run a V3 stack in AWS, so it could be fun to enable PacketBroker to federate between our private network and TTN. Let me know if you are interested to collaborate. ---

Hello I installed The Things Indoor Gateway(TTIG) since December 20 (Le Plateau) and I connected one Arduino node with Temp and Hum sensors use Python to capture every 15 minutes data from TTN to our Platform (based on Elastic & Kibana for dashboard) ![image](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/1/1/11420c4526fe6cced9663169dbb9a13a2c1d85ac.png) ---

For my part I have my gateway on Christophe Colomb / Mont Royal. I have an indoor antenna but I will receive my outdoor antenna next week. I hope I will cover a couple of km with the antenna on the roof… I also have a GPS tracker linked to TTN mapper. It’s on my pocket everything I go out of my home. But what I can see is the coverage on Montreal is really poor! ---

I am closed to you. I used your gateway to try my GPS tracker, before I received my Gateway ---

Yes coverage is poor in Montreal only one outdoor TTN gateway. Do you know the maximum distance you can connect connect to my gateway ? I ve got an Arduino board with a GPS dragino card well it could be a good idea to track my walk too. ---

I installed an outdoor antenna yesterday on my balcony. I will wait for spring to install it on the roof… Sometime I walk on Laurier with my tracker, look at TTNmapper maybe your gateway will catch my tracker. But you can also buy the same as me. If everbody has a gps tracker in the pocket it will help to have a better coverage of Montreal > **[LoRaWAN GPS Tracker w/ 9-axis Accelerometer LGT92 (915 MHz)](https://www.robotshop.com/ca/en/lorawan-gps-tracker-9-axis-accelerometer-lgt92-915-mhz.html)** > > LoRaWAN 1.0.3 compliant > Built-in 9 axis accelerometer > Regular / Real-time GPS tracking > Motion sensing capability / Power Monitoring > Charging clip with USB port / 1000mA Li-on Battery power > Bands: CN470/EU433/KR920/US915/EU868/AS923/AU915
