The Things Stack for LoRaWAN

Build Status Coverage Status

The Things Stack for LoRaWAN is an open source LoRaWAN network stack suitable for large, global and geo-distributed public and private networks as well as smaller networks. The architecture follows the LoRaWAN Network Reference Model for standards compliancy and interoperability. This project is actively maintained by The Things Industries.

LoRaWAN is a protocol for low-power wide area networks. It allows for large scale Internet of Things deployments where low-powered devices efficiently communicate with Internet-connected applications over long range wireless connections.

Commitments and Releases

Open source projects are great, but a stable and reliable open source ecosystem is even better. Therefore, we make the following commitments:

  1. We will not break the API towards gateways and applications within the major version. This includes how gateways communicate and how applications work with data
  2. We will upgrade storage from older versions within the major version. This means that you can migrate an older setup without losing data
  3. We will not break the public command-line interface and configuration within the major version. This means that you can safely build scripts and migrate configurations
  4. We will not break the API between components and events within minor versions. So at least the same minor versions of components are compatible with each other

As we are continuously adding functionality in minor versions and fixing issues in patch versions, we are also introducing new configurations and new defaults. We therefore recommend reading the release notes before upgrading to a new version.

You can find the releases and their notes on the Releases page.
