Hi Kris,

Lora is a little bit confuse for me at the moment. So here, some questions :

Could I use the card in France? using the Europe Frequency (EU868)? How to get data that I send? Does I need to find a provider in France? Does I can use the https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/ services? Does I pay to a mobile provider to use antenna because data are sent using the mobile network?

Thanks, Cédric

Hi Cedric,

Grasshopper (and the other CMWX1ZZABZ products) is designed to work at European frequencies.

Typically, the Grasshopper would be used with a LoRaWAN gateway. I have both the Multitech AP (which I would recommend) and the Things Network gateways. Both work well enough although the TTN gateway is having some problems at the moment. The Multitech AP is ~$300.

The Things Network is a network of privately owned gateways. In the major cities in Europe the coverage is sufficient that you don;t need your own gateway, some TTN agateway will capture your data. Look up the local TTN members in your area to see what the coverage is. I am sure in Paris you wouldn't need a gateway.

The gateway receives the LoRaWAN data from the Grasshopper, and then forward the data packets to a LoRa server. I use the SEMTECH server but there are many available at no cost.

Then the LoRa server pushes the data to whatever back end you want; I use myDevices and CayenneLPP.

The things network has a lot of tutorial information so look there, they also have a forum where you can ask more detailed questions.

You shouldn;t need a mobile network subscription.
