This is an exciting time for developers, professionals, and/or students of all levels who are keen to start or supplement their LoRaWAN careers.

Some of RAK’s most popular products utilize LoRaWAN because of its versatile nature and impeccable long-range connectivity. That is why RAK is proud to announce that Xose Pérez, RAK’s very own consultant, IoT developer & core member at The Things Network Barcelona, will be conducting a workshop during The Things Summer Academy on August 16th!

This summer academy will be a great place both for beginners and not-so beginners to get a global picture of a LoraWAN network, from the hardware, firmware, and protocols involved in the communication to the network architecture. During the RAK workshop, Xose will discuss the different available hardware options for a LoRaWAN gateway, the basics, and what extras you will need to deploy outdoors for maximum coverage. The workshop will also cover how to easily deploy the firmware on the device using Balena.io and monitor the status of the gateway remotely, almost in one click!

On what one can expect for the workshop and The Things Summer Academy, Xose shares, “The goal is to show that building a LoRaWAN gateway can be fun and not complex at all. After all, RAK's mission is IoT made easy”
