| - | The [[https://lora-developers.semtech.com/build/software/lora-basics/lora-basics-for-gateways/|Semtech LoRa Basics™ Station]] is a nice reference implementation. But, as the original packet forwarder, it has the same drawbacks: It's a monolithic approach, designed to be hardly linked to the gateway radio architecture and to be used on one Network Server. | + | The [[https://doc.sm.tc/station/index.html|Semtech LoRa Basics™ Station]] is a nice reference implementation.
