We've been busy these past few months. I've made some posts on LinkedIn, but I thought I'd recap those here and add some extra context. First of all, a business partner of ours is doing the RideLondon bike trip at the end of the month in support of a good cause called stem4. In addition, we will equip his bike with air quality sensors and track his ride. Read more about all of this here. Good luck Terence!

Getting started with LoRa(WAN)

It seems that LoRa(WAN) in general tends to be quite a source of confusion for those starting out with this technology. For starters, there is the difference between LoRa and LoRaWAN that are absolutely fundamental but often these terms are used interchangeably. In addition, there are many different starter kits and devices out there that are not necessarily compatible with each other. The need to build up a gateway network alongside building actual communicating devices doesn’t really help to make this all straight forward. Hopefully this text can help clear some of the confusion and get people to build both infrastructure and things (pun intended) on top of this promising network technology.
