Need help with LoRa Mikrotik products

Thu Dec 23, 2021 10:06 pm

Dear friends,

I would like to set up a LoRa gateway in my summer house to monitor temperature and humidify.

At the same time, as this is a rural area in France, I would like to offer free access to a small village 2 kilometers at sight.
I don't know precisely who would use LoRa, probably farmers and home users.
I am planning to unmount a satellite dish on top of my house and put the emitter there.
So it seems that the wAP suits my needs.

I have zero knowledge in LoRa and for example I don't understand the differences between those products:
wAP LR2, wAP LR8 and wAP LR9 kits (what do LR2, LRR8 and LR9 stand for).

Which free LoRa service should I join and what is the best product in the Mikrotik range?

Also, what PoE injector would I need? I already have a Mikrotik router, but it does not support PoE out.
Distance between my router and satellite dish is 30 meters.

I hope that my questions are not too vague and that you can help me.

Kind regards,
FF

I think the wAP LR8 kit suits my needs and includes all what is needed. No need to answer this post.
