Well, 14 months after I ordered and paid for a Pycom pygate it arrived 2 weeks ago.

It’s up and running on TTN using the legacy pkt forwarder.

It’s cheap; The pygate itself is Euro50. The Lopy4 I’m using to run the code is Euro35 but it only needs a Wipy3 at Euro20.  
It’s small; this picture is shown alongside a Raspberry Pi.  
I have added a battery and a Taoglas PC.81 antenna. It uses WiFi for backhaul. An ethernet interface is available as an option.  
From unboxing to having it up and running would be about 30mins.
