The Things Network's public community network indeed has guidelines to ensure fair access for the entire community. If you deploy a private LoRaWAN network with your own gateways and your own servers, you only need to comply with the l

The technology is designed to scale to tens of thousands of active end devices per gateway (base station), but for that it does assume that most traffic is from end devices to the network. Larger scale can be achieved by adding more gateway

These base stations (we call them gateways) are owned and operated by individuals, communities or companies. The gateways demodulate transmissions and forward them to The Things Network's public community network. There are currently o

Yes, transmissions that have line of sight can go extremely far, mostly limited by the curvature of the Earth, which is why these records are typically broken using helium balloons. There have also been several interesting ground-to-ground

That's a question we hear quite often. The LoRaWAN specification [1] defines three classes of devices. Class C nodes are powered on all the time, which indeed has consequences for the energy consumption. For more energy constrained dev
