I’m not ready to install either of these gateways outdoors where they are difficult to reach. I recently discovered why my TTOG’s LTE went offline: it ran out of data because it uses 30MB-60MB per day.
See: Things Outdoor Gateway - TTOG part 1
And: Gateway data usage
The RAK7249 also ran out of data and the pictures looks even worse:
| Description | Session Start | Session End | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Afrihost APN Usage 2019-06-10 | 2019-06-10 00:00:00 | 2019-06-10 23:59:59 | 607.14KB |
| Afrihost APN Usage 2019-06-11 | 2019-06-11 00:00:00 | 2019-06-11 23:59:59 | 1.28GB |
| Afrihost APN Usage 2019-06-12 | 2019-06-12 00:00:00 | 2019-06-12 23:59:59 | 2.01GB |
Taking into consideration that previous tests indicated about 3.5MB of data usage per day for a normal UDP based gateway these numbers are way out. I need to get this fixed as running a gateway at this data usage will become expensive.
