Denver, Colorado

Hi Dan,
Interested in deploying LoRa in the Front Range area. Rather than continuing a conversation on this board, perhaps you could give me a call and we can get together over a coffee.
Phone number below signature in previous post.
Best,

Hey David and Dan –
We have a small group in Longmont that is interested in setting up a city-wide network. We’re meeting next Wednesday, and it would be great to collaborate if you have a chance to make it up to Longmont. Either way, please don’t hesitate to drop a line at 720.580.1777 Jake

Hi Jake,
Thanks for the note, I am planning to attend. See you there!

This looks like an outdated thread. Any updates on a Denver IoT (LoRaWAN) network?

Hi dwalkes - I’m interested in Things networks in Denver as well. What is your current involvement?

Hi porrick,
Unfortunately I still don’t have a working hardware setup but I’m still interested in the idea of a Denver LoRaWAN network. Which hardware are you using for your gateway? You can see my attempts at Raspberry Pi Based Node and Gateway Hardware Suggestions

I haven’t put anything past mere thought/interest/research. Any good resources that you recommend to get started/for a newbie? Thank you in advance.

I think the best info I’ve found has been here on the forum, but it’s been close to a year since I spent any significant amount of time on this.

welcome, THIS is a good starting point

Can we all have a meetup and try to acheive this ?

I’m in (for Denver).

From above posts i can see that they was already meet happened last year. If we can have more people interested we can join.

In light of the recent death of net-neutrality, I was busy researching alternative, global networks and happened across thethingsnetwork.org. Since I live in the Denver metro area, any recent movement on this thread?

The Things Network is not an alternative for ‘normal’ internet traffic … it’s main use is wireless traffic of very small packets of data (like a temperature)
So nothing like surfing the web without censorship or paying extra to be on the ISP’s’ fast lane’ :wink:

Thanks very much for the quick, informative reply. Have you heard of any “private internet”-type network projects? I ran across this one (https://docs.meshwith.me) but maybe there are others or something completely different.

I have a working TTN Gateway in north Longmont. I am prepping to move it into the attic which will gain an additional 10’ of height and upgrade the antenna from the stock rubber duck

David,

thanx for doing that. I am over in the Washington Park area. Anybody interested in a TTN gateway there ?

Hi Thomas,
I don’t need a Wash Park gateway since I am so far away. However, it would be interesting to map all gateway locations and discover what coverage can be achieved within the metro area.
Also, I don’t know if I really have line of sight to your location but it might be worth trying a range test experiment. I would have to transport a mobile setup a couple of hundred yards to get to about 8,400 ft. I’d also have to purchase an antenna compatible with the TTN Uno.

I know I’m a bit late to the party but have setup a gateway Parker, CO. Just wondering if there is still interest in discussions or meetup?
