LoRaWAN
LoRaWAN Roaming with dM
dM has acquired a roaming license that allows the LoRaWAN name server to not only operate its own private gateways, but also make these gateways accessible to citizens without barriers. At the same time, dM customers have access to approximately 77,000 gateways at 61,000+ locations or 5,000+ postal codes through roaming.
Each number represents 1 gateway in the hexagon of your region. You can use these gateways immediately. Courtesy of the Helium Foundation.
