IntegrateLive! is back with a virtual workshop that involves LoRaWAN and groov EPIC.

On July 19, 2023, at 8:00 am PDT, the IntegrateLive! team rolls up their sleeves for another hands-on project.

This IntegrateLive! Virtual Workshop will be led by Sarah Sonnier and Jessica Williams from SiteSync, as well as Benson Hougland from Opto 22. They'll focus on using a groov EPIC and the SiteSync MultiTech gateway to set up a full LoRaWAN network stack. (LoRaWAN is a low-power, wide area networking protocol built on top of the LoRa radio modulation technique.)

The setup will include LoRaWAN Network Server, Join Server, and Application Server. Register to attend.
