Design Support Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have flexibility to run a proprietary stack on LoRa Edge LR1110?

Unfortunately, no. The LoRa Basics® Modem-E is a modem based on the LoRaWAN® protocol and is certified to run on LR1110.

What are the advantages of using the LoRa Cloud® Services?

The Cloud solver is an integral part of the LoRa Edge platform for computing a position fix using GNSS and for acquiring a Wi-Fi based location fix using triangulation of static MAC addresses. Key advantages of using Semtech’s end-to-end LoRa Cloud solution include:

  • Simplified means of joining a device to the network with the LoRa Cloud Device Join service
  • Easy device management with the LoRa Cloud Modem Services
What is the function of the LoRaWAN protocol data server in LoRa Cloud in terms of positioning (any advantage or disadvantage) when compared to Actility and The Things Network?

Actility and The Things Network offer a network server. Semtech offers a Cloud server for geolocation services as well as a suite of the Device & Application Services. The network server is connected to the Cloud on the back end. We are not replacing it.

Will the API for connecting to LoRa Cloud be opened up to the customer?

Yes, it is open and fully documented in the LoRa Cloud.
