SPN is designed to handle the communication with multiple end-devices over the loraWAN protocol.The list of all the registered end-devices constitutes the fleet (maximum 5000 devices).

The loraWAN protocol relies on multiple parameters such as frequencies, class, IDs ,… To use an end-device with SPN, the end-device and the gateway need to use the same parameters.

There are parameters that are common to the entire fleet:

• Regional parameters (The loraWAN protocol depends on the region)
• Rx frequencies

Some parameters are specific to each end-device:

• Class (A or C)
• Activation type (Over The Air Activation, Activation By Personalization)
• Pairing IDs (Device adress, network session key, …)
• Receive window slot and frequency

A few kind of end-devices use pre-defined parameters. In this case, only the station needs to be configured (with the same parameters).

More information about the loraWAN protocol can be found on the LoRa-alliance website.
