Private Lora network based on an Up squared gateway
Hi,
I would like to build my own private LoRa network using the Up squared board as the gateway and likely the UP LoRa node (ref. AIOT-ILND02-A10-MURABZ-EU) as end device.
However, I found only pre-assembled LoRa computer on the up-shop while I would prefer a sort of LoRa module kit that I can plugged onto the 40-pins slot or even better on the mPCIe slot. Does anyone can recommend a LoRa HAT module that can be configured for the Up squared?
I found a few interesting solutions such as the RAK833 or the RAK2245 concentrators from RAK wireless. Does anyone have experience with these modules? Are they compatibles with an Up Squared?
As I have very little experience on setting up a LoRa network, any recommendation or tutorial would be very welcomed. I think, a tutorial on how to setup a LoRa network using the up squared would be valuable for the community

Hi @rchauvin
The modules that have been tested are the following:
http://www.risinghf.com/#/product-details?product_id=6&lang=enhttp://www.embit.eu/products/emb-lr1301-mpcie/ (basic tests, not fully validated)
We plan to test the RAK modules in the near future and we will keep you posted about it.
on the software side we have tested successfully Res.IOT: https://www.resiot.io/en/
TTN: https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/lorawan-stack
Loraserver: https://www.loraserver.io/and few others.

Hi @DCleri,
Thank you for the information.
I will likely give a try to the RAK modules too as they look well documented.On the software side, does the solutions you mentioned allow to deploy a private network?
I mean without subscribing to a cloud-based solution but forwarding data directly to our own server (for free)? -
Yes they do, the links provided support the configuration with a local network server (even on the same machine).
Let us know if the RAK modules works for you!

Hi @DCleri,
I just noticed that AAEON manufactures a mini-PCIe LoRa module (SCA-RF-L01).
Is this module compatible with the Up squared?
