Using LoRaWAN Gateways

For optimal connectivity, it's recommended to use indoor LoRaWAN gateways. These are adapted for indoor environments such as basements, cellars and attic spaces.

TTN gateways are recommended for the CubicMeter, but any EU868 MHz gateway is compatible.

The range of the gateways will be influenced by the building structure and materials, therefore, make sure to check:

• Gateway Proximity
  For optimal performance, place the gateway where the RSSI value is optimal, ideally -70 dbm or above.

• Gateway Location and Height
  Higher placement of the gateway generally improves performance.

• Wall Material
  Concrete walls affect reception because it blocks signal strength. If you have concrete walls, place the gateways try to place the gateway in the room with the CubicMeter.
