I’m having trouble getting LoRaWAN roaming to work in Finland.
My understanding is that Digita’s LoRaWAN network should forward traffic to The Things Industries (TTI), but I’m not seeing any data come through if not close to my own gateway.
Has anyone successfully set up roaming between Digita or any other local network and TTI/TTN?
I’m wondering if:
There’s a specific configuration/setting I’m missing on the TTI side?
Roaming agreements are actually in place between these networks?
There are coverage limitations I should be aware of?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Not sure if this is a configuration issue on my end or if roaming simply isn’t available yet.
Im on the TTI free 1 GW / 10 Device plan currently for testing.
Not a definative way of checking but often you get a good idea of what is available in an area if you go to the main TTN Map ( https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/map ) and zoom into your country or a specific area and toggle the TTN (Things Stack Community Edition) and the Interconnected Private Network options - you should see GW’s pop in/drop out - if not zoomed in enough you may see very small (sadly white and hard to see!) numbers show how many in an area. You may then need to determine if any are Digita GW’s. I cant tell but a quick check around e,g, Helsinki just showed only 1 peering GW (dont know whose) just west of H & the bay. I would guess therefore that its not yet implemented or atleast not sharing with the TTN (vs available for peering with private TTI TTS) instance. Note be careful as seeing lots of GWs in an area can be deceptive even if shown on the map as they may actually be blocked from passing TTN traffic…….sadly the case with some I have seen - e.g. >120 GW’s listed in Coventry UK area (‘cxn-uk’ & ‘enterprise’ gw’s) but they dont share nicely! A quick check on the TTN Community map for the area ( https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/country/finland/ & https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/community/helsinki/ ) and on TTN Mapper ( https://ttnmapper.org/heatmap/ ) may show any interconnected GW’s in the area that might pass traffic.
Thank you for your reply! Maps doesn’t show Digita GW’s as there are quite many all over.
The one “Interconnected” is actually mine “24…ac” which i added trough TTI.
