Xiaoye 3.1 12 The LPS8-V2 of Dragino LoRaWAN gateway can communicate with LoRaWAN ABP End Node, the working is based on the built-in server TTN-Stack.
Xiaoye 2.1 13
Xiaoling 47.4 14
Xiaoling 30.2 15 **It can be used in some cases such as:**
Xiaoye 3.1 16
Xiaoye 2.1 17 * No internet connection.
18 * Users want to get data forward in the gateway and forward it to their server based on MQTT/HTTP.
Xiaoye 3.1 19 * Forward the data to the built-in Application server Node-Red.
20 * Just storing the data on the gateway or external storage
