LoRaWAN 1.1 compatibility

@jclo13
Yes, LoRaWAN 1.1 doesn't need special hardware it's a software change.

@seb TTN has started supporting lorawan v1.1 in their enterprise lorawan server. Any update on LoPy compatibility with the same version?

Which 1.1 features you want to use?

@sidpat
Your post got me curious so I checked with Johan Stokking (TTN CTO) and he said LoRaWAN 1.1 was not actually available yet. It will come later (maybe May) for testing ahead of the public release.

We're following the ecosystem development progress. As @bmarkus asked I'd be interested to know what features you're looking for.

@jmarcelino, ah I got excited seeing this at https://www.thethingsindustries.com/technology/pricing
Thought they had implemented it on the server side.

@bmarkus, I want to upgrade to v1.1 mostly because of the unique uplink confirmation message (using FCntUp in the MIC calculation) and new mac command to time sync node with the server.

@sidpat Do you have a LoRaWAN 1.1 device already?

[sidpat]

@bmarkus Not yet. It is why I asked about any update on PyCom's implementation on v1.1 for LoPy and FiPy.

@bmarkus , @jmarcelino Is seems Orne Brocaar already did integrate Lorawan Class B in his open source private server.

I waiting too for B - Node Class implementation for pycom hardware

Please keep in mind that 'Class B' need not only compatible devices and network servers, but it must be supported by the gateways.

Most of the gateways running today are not 'Class B' compliant.

@bmarkus Good too know .. I will keep that in my mind

Thank you!
