Hi

It's possible to implement in the future GNSS on your loraserver ?

http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/using-mlinux/gpsgnss-on-conduit/

It's a very interesting to use lora like tracker of small devices.

Example: https://www.loraserver.io/lora-geo-server/overview/

Thanks.

@jot4p I am sorry, but what it has to do with the server? It is a feature of the Multitech packet forwarder that is not relayed over to the server. LoRa was initially designed to be untrackable during the WW2. You can track only if you use the FSK modulation (to some extent).

Hi @altishchenko ,

Please check this: https://www.loraserver.io/loraserver/features/geolocation/

and this:

Thanks.

@jot4p, you mean Geolocation, right? Geolocation will be supported once there is a low cost gateway with precise timestamping. So far, all gateways that support geolocation were terribly expensive. I know Semtech did some change to their IP policy, which may lead to creation of low cost gateways with geolocation support. Once this happen, I will add geolocation to the server.

Hi @gotthardp ,

I have the multiple gateways with gnss support (multitech).

All new multitech gateways support this (<500€).
