The Things Network Calderdale

Bridge Rectifier hosts a LoRaWAN gateway as part of The Things Network Calderdale, providing a free and open data network for connected / Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Our initial priority is to use this to support a crowdsourced network of river and moisture level sensors, that may help in providing improved warning and/or understanding of flooding. Other potential uses being considered include monitoring air quality.

Gateway

A gateway has been constructed from an IMST iC880A SPI LoRaWAN concentrator plus a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. This is operating on the 868MHz band and running an instance of the poly_pkt_fwd software.

The gateway EUI is: FFFEB827EB80853B.
