Min IOT HT-M00 Dual Channel LoRa Gateway Support Standard LoRaWAN/ESP32 Gateway
looking for a cheap gateway around home
will it be suitable for the new network ?
Hi Pixar,
The HT-M00 is a dual channel packet forwarder (DCPF) and must not be connected to The Things Network. There are many forum posts about SCPFs and DCPFs and why they are no longer in use.
A LoRaWAN Compliant GW needs to support 8 concurrent channels running on 6 different SF’s. (Plus option for FSK modulation). There are many relatively cheap 8 channel gateway available
Have a good read of the forum. Get a compliant gateway. It will support the full number of channels that will be used by any nodes that you build or buy. Indoor ones for use around the home are quite affordable.
Great thanks for the guidance
A TTIG - The Things Indoor Gateway - is a very reasonable price - ~€/£/$80
