1.1  What is the LPS8N 
The LPS8N is an open source LoRaWAN Indoor Gateway. It lets you bridge LoRa wireless network 
to an IP network via WiFi, Ethernet, 3G or 4G cellular network. The LoRa wireless allows users to 
send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates. 
 
The LPS8N uses Semtech packet forwarder & LoRaWAN Basic Station and fully compatible with 
LoRaWAN protocol. It includes a SX1302 LoRa concentrator, which provides 10 programmable 
parallel demodulation paths. 
 
LPS8N has pre-configured standard LoRaWAN frequency bands to use for different countries. 
User can also customized the frequency bands to use in their own LoRa network. 
 
LPS8N can communicate with ABP LoRaWAN end node without LoRaWAN server. System 
integrator can use it to integrate with their existing IoT Service without set up own LoRaWAN 
server or use 3rd party LoRaWAN service.
