Rethinking the LoRaWAN Gateway through Extensions
summary
Claims a shift from monolithic gateway firmware to modular, remotely managed extensions and shows it in the field: RAK ships 10 extensions published that install from a gateway gallery, integrate with fleet management for remote deploys and signed updates, and reduce full-image OTA churn. Built features include a local packet buffer to avoid dropped uplinks, a spectrum scanner and a gateway mesh prototype, plus an SDK and signing workflow so integrators can build and ship trusted modules.
