I don't mention multiple bugs and absent functionality in the Helium's network server ( this is a good example: https://github.com/helium/router/issues/642 ). I don't mention you need to write off all your investments in 16- and 64-channels gateways. And so on...
It's curious that the project they based their server on ( https://github.com/gotthardp/lorawan-server ) supported class C long before Helum decided to be a LoraWAN provider. So, they actually throw out the code they were unable to adopt to their so-called "archictecture", and I'm not sure that they were thinking about (if they were thinking at all) at that moment.
And the situation with almost any LoRaWAN feature is pretty close to that what I described above. It doesn't seem to be a secret for the Helium team, they aren't all idiots. That's why they have been trying to integrate Chirpstack open source LoRaWAN server with Helium ( https://github.com/helium/packet-purchaser/issues/23 , https://github.com/helium/packet-purchaser/issues/24 , https://github.com/helium/packet-purchaser/issues/25). I wish them a good luck, but from that what I see in the code and in the issues description, the result can be more disastrous than that "Light Hotspot transition". And, of course, this work should be started a couple of years ago.
