Overview

Gateways are unlimited on every plan. Add the gateway in the native UI, then point it at ChirpCloud with one of two protocols:

  • Basic Station (recommended)

    Encrypted, and each gateway authenticates with its own certificate.

    Set up Basic Station

  • Semtech UDP

    The classic packet forwarder. Simple to set up, but not authenticated.

    Set up Semtech UDP

Adding a gateway

Your gateways also help carry other customers' devices, and theirs carry yours: see shared coverage.
