TWTG
summary
The Things Network hardware called TWTG claims production of more than 1,000 gateways and a user setup time of 5 minutes, with deployments including a live test in the Port of Amsterdam. Gateways act like standard LoRaWAN concentrators, supporting long range and ultra-low-power end nodes that claim up to 20‑year battery life in ideal conditions. OTA firmware updates over LoRa are demonstrated as the missing software piece, and energy harvesting (solar/kinetic) is being explored to avoid mass battery waste.
