#115 How to build a LoRa / LoraWAN Gateway and connect it to TTN? Using an IC880a Board

In this video we build our first Sub-GHz LoRa gateway (step by step) and connect it to The Things Network (TTN). This gateway can be used to connect nodes with Arduino or ESP8266 and a Hope RFM95 board to the internet. This is what we will do in a later episode.
