I personally thought most of businesses would use either Class A (for lower power consumption) or Class C (for places where power can be supplied like street lights) and avoid Class B. I guessed Class B would be difficult even for telecom operators.
And it is good to know the fact that why TTN wouldn’t be able to support Class B because we (TTN community) need to know our limitation so we don’t oversell ourselves and find a way how we can achieve the business goal using Class A or Class C only.
I think what the community needs to know is a sort of a TTN’s product road map, so the TTN community would expect certain things (like Class C support) at a certain time even if the schedule may get postponed later.
Same thing applies to the device management facility. I wasn’t aware of the TTN Global Team was working on it. I think it would be good to make a “TTN Roadmap (or TTN Product Roadmap)” category on the wiki and publish the timeline of TTN components even if some are tentative (then just state that it is tentative).
No, I haven’t checked with a telecom operators. I thought they didn’t have this type of limitation. There is only one telecom operator to ask in Korea, which is SKT. If there is a way I could find out the limitations of SKT LoRaWAN network, I will share it with the community.
If anyone in the community knows their telecom operators limitation on node air time, please share it with the community.
It will be good to find out even telecom operators may have similar limitations. Then, it becomes a fair game.
It is also good to know there isn’t much to be done about Fair Access Policy. Because the policy is based on the technical reasons, not based on any other reason, which means all LoRaWAN networks are in the same boat. We just needs to publish all LoRaWAN networks including telecom operators networks are enforcing this type of airtime policy, then it is not TTN’s weakness anymore.
When I get all the feedback on my SWOT analysis, I’ll try to post it on the wiki. I just need to find a spot where I can upload it. I just began to learn about TTN and LoRaWAN. So, I won’t have much to contribute to the wiki for right now. But, I’ll try to contribute to the wiki when I know more about TTN down the road.
