How to use this directory
- A row represents a named deployment or geographically identifiable coordinating community—not an individual node or a generic map.
- Gateway and contributor counts are directory-reported snapshots. They do not guarantee that a gateway remains online or that an area has continuous coverage.
- Several TTN pages are historical community records. A community with no listed gateways is not presented as an operational network.
- Radio settings are shown only when published. Always confirm current national spectrum rules and local community configuration.
- Meshtastic and LoRaWAN are separate systems and are not interoperable merely because they use the same band.
