    Quick LoRaWAN network deployment guide for various configurations

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • chirpstack-gateway-os

    OpenWrt based gateway images including ChirpStack components.

  • FWIW, for building your own private network, there is no need to rely on something like TTN. ChirpStack (https://www.chirpstack.io/) is a very mature and easy to deploy LoRaWAN suite that's worth looking at!
