Hardware components

All components necessary to build LoRaBridge bridge and gateway units are listed below. Please note: the components listed here are the ones used to build the first proof-of-concept LoRaBridge implementation with verified functionality. Some components such as different Raspberry PI models or other Zigbee coordinator sticks might work out-of-the-box. Other components like external LoRaWAN gateways or alternative LoRa modems require adjustments to the LoRaBridge software.
