Just a product suggestion...

 LinkLabs, a company working in the LoRa space has a repeater product that can extend the range of their GW. The benefit of a repeater is that it only requires power (i.e. solar). No internet connection needed. Imagine if mc-Things had a repeater product that could be deployed in a neighborhoods, farm fields, small communities...etc extending mc-air as far out as necessary. This would be great in remote areas where no other lpwan exists.

Anyway, just a suggestion.

Sound great, I'll get one for sure.

I was thinking about a second gateway, as the range on the current gateway/modules doesn't cover the house, but I'll wait for the better version.

I guess 2.4GHz just can't get through too many walls (not on low power anyway). I was thinking that the 1/4 wave antenna in the gateway (OK, it's just a module) could be improved on, as space on the gateway is less of an issue than the modules. A 5/8 would work well. I may try an experiment...

All firmware is finished and tested and we are going to produce them the coming weeks.
