Wondering if any community members have read this yet and reviewed for classic ‘gotchas’ and any poor advice or practice? I recently trapped a big snafu with an open sourced (vs this one is paid for) e-book from one of the major EU/CH tech Uni’s for LoRaWAN where they stumbled at 1st step for choice of GW (ST Nucleo dev GW that doesnt conform to deployment needs etc.) leading to some Forum discussions and commentary/warnings… just saying.

When the pdf costs more than the print version, you know that the pricing is artificially high. Based upon my experience with Elektor, expect to be over-hyped and under-delivered by this book.
