In this video, I show you the basic principles of LoRa and LoRaWAN, its plusses and minuses, and also show you my own LoRa gateway and a LoRa client, and send the first message to the things network. Link budget and bandwidth are introduced. This technology can be used for Arduino and other microcontrollers like the ESP8266 or the ESP32. It is LPWAN technology. You find many more videos on how to build gateways and nodes:    • LoRa, LoraWAN, Sigfox   Links: TTN Homepage: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/ Technical explanations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3dGLqZrjIQ LoRa module: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/hQDRc7A Plain LoRa Module: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bqngYvpO LoRa Gateway: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/HGHRRio If you want to support the channel and buy from Banggood: https://bit.ly/2jAQEf4 (no additional charges for you) https://www.facebook.com/Andreas-Spiess-733189426841519/ https://twitter.com/spiessa
