In Chapter 1, you learned that the LoRaWAN architecture consists of end nodes (also known as end devices or sensor LoRa nodes) and gateways. End nodes and gateways can be built with various hardware and software options. This chapter introduces some easy-to-find hardware that you can use to build end nodes and single-channel gateways.

The radio transceivers we will be using for this book don’t support building LoRaWAN-compatible multichannel gateways. You should use them for educational and testing purposes only. In fact, using them ...
