@paul-thornton said in LoRa (Raw) & MQTT vs. LoRaWAN & private LoRaWAN server:
Is this something that has to be completely self hosted?
From the current state of things, yes, it has to. I need a solution that can scale up. We think about several hundrets of nodes with several gateways per application. Everything has to be self powered. And also for now, it's not clear if the gateways will have a permanent connection to the higher-level network, or will initially store all the information and load them up in fixed intervals.
My first attempt was, to use TTN. But there are opinions that speak against it. Think of areas in the world where the Internet is not as free as it should be.
