MoRa is a repository including software, hardware configuration and documentation related to the expermenting activities about LoRa/LoRaWAN technology carried out in Modena by Davide Gariselli and Alberto Trentadue.
Repository's resources can be used to implement demos and/or kick-starters for further projects using LoRaWAN as digital communication infrastructure for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Very short introduction to LoRa and LoRaWAN.
MoRa development is aimed to deliver one of the possible implementations of a communication infrastructure for the IoT using LoRaWAN as network and LoRa as last hop communication technique.
The Things Network (TTN) project is an authoritative example of LoRaWAN infrastructure implemented world-wide in Open Source and MoRa holds it as reference for many fundamental aspects.
However, we decided to implement (for now) an infrastructure independently from TTN in order be able to study in detail and experiment in first person some LoRaWAN network low-level aspects and issues that are mainly already solved and thus hidden by TTN's software components. Nevertheless, We foresee that MoRa should integrate with TTN in the next future to actively contribute to TTN's objectives fulfillment which we consider very important and worthy for its motivation, its practices and the effects they have in the IoT development for communities.
Ours is a minimalist but complete LoRaWAN network implementation and therefore it follows its standard architecture.
Our implementation includes a node, a gateway and Network Server having both LoRa Server and "Application Server" functions.
