Hello, I have a Kerlink LoRa IoT Station that captures packets from only two end-nodes. The gateway is connected on a Cellular Network and has installed the Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder. Also, this gateway is located somewhere that covers only these two devices. The cellular connection was configur…

The gateways send an heartbeat every 30 seconds. Not sure if this can be configured to be less. Plus, at present you cannot be sure no other LoRa data is collected by the gateway and sent to the network. As far as I understood, future evolutions will include whitelists on gateways with limited band…

Ok thank you! But what are these extra data for? Are LoRaWAN-unrelated data or is the gateway’s heartbeat? Can I find the size of the hearbeat’s traffic and what exactly is its format? I am pretty sure there are no other LoRa nodes near the gateway as the gateway is in the middle of nowhere …

Need professional support?

even if you switch off these 2 nodes , you will use data every 30 seconds

Filter forwarded packets if on limited cellular plan
