LPS8 V2 Indoor Multichannel LoRaWAN Gateway with ChirpStack and Node-RED

The Dragino LPS8 V2 is an 8-channel LoRaWAN gateway for indoor use with its own server. The ChirpStack network server and Node-RED as application server run on it from the factory, so sensor data can be processed directly in your own network without a cloud. According to Dragino, a version with the local TTN Stack server can be installed as a separate image. Alternatively, the gateway forwards the data via Ethernet or Wi-Fi to an external server such as The Things Network (TTN). The system is based on Debian.
