I have played around with the Semtech SX1262 and SX1276 ICs. They handle most of the unpleasant physical layer stuff by themselves (e.g. generating/checking CRCs, generating the spread spectrum waveforms, detecting preambles, etc). On the transmit end, you just hand them your data. At the receive end, they interrupt you when they have a packet ready for you. You still have to handle all the higher-level OSI stack stuff yourself. I image that's where the LoRaWAN stuff comes in but I don't know much about that.

You can find the Charlotte IOT meetup channel on youtube and watch the presentation on Lora + LoraWan by Charles Lord that happened Tuesday evening. He had slides on equipment he used including gateways.

    Anyone using LoRa or LoRaWAN in a project? I would like to play
    around with some asset tracking ideas and have been somewhat
    frustrated by Particle and their LTE-M Boron product. I actually
    don't think I need LTE-M, 1 KM range would be fine. Further, it
    would be nice to not have to pay a monthly fee for each SIM card.

    Is there a LoRaWAN gateway anyone would recommend? I've been
    looking at this thing:
    
https://www.tindie.com/products/TleraCorp/long-cricket-loralorawangnss-asset-tracker/#specs
    as a sort of mostly-ready-made asset tracker.

    Thanks,
    Alex
