LoRa Gateway Overview

In the previous overview of the LoRaWAN series, we provided a basic explanation of the gateway's functions.

The primary function of the gateway is data forwarding.

Uplink: It receives data transmitted by LoRa nodes via the LoRaWAN protocol, packages it into JSON format, and sends the data to the LoRa NS over the network (UDP, TCP/IP).

Downlink: converts the downlink data, ACKs, etc. from the LoRa NS into LoRa radio signals and transmit to LoRa Nodes.

The core of the Heltec LoRa Gateway lies in the Semtech SX1302/3 + SX1250 baseband chipset, combined with an MCU, we have released various types to adjust different application scenarios.
