Nucleo-WL55JC as gateway

[KYZ]

Hello,

I'm using Nucleo-WL55JC cards and I wanted to know if it was possible to use them as gateways, partly to connect the radio world to the internet (LoRaWAN), and partly to extend the range of my network (by dispersing multiple gateways everywhere).

Note: there would only be a single "sensor" device that would send its data to the nearest gateway. This "sensor" device is also a Nucleo-WL55JC.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

KYZ.

Thanks for these links! I'll have a look at them.

In fact, I'm looking for as much information as possible to help me with my project.
I'm mainly trying to understand how LoRaWAN works, and also to understand how to set up a LoRa network or use a network already in place, and so on.
I don't want to get into this without understanding how LoRa and LoRaWAN work, so I'm looking for LOTS of information on the subject and that's how new questions come up.
Which may be confusing for you.

And as far as tracking is concerned, I use a GPS module directly with my device and I want to send this location data to the server.

@KYZ Indeed, as @STTwo-32 says, I think your question, "Can Nucleo-WL55JC cards be use them as gateways" has been answered.

In summary:

1. In the specific case of "LoRaWAN Gateway" (capital 'G' - Proper Name) as defined in the LoRaWAN specifications: No, a WL55 cannot do that.
    
2. In the generic sense of "gateway" (small 'g'), yes it could be possible for a WL55 to be both an End Node in a LoRaWAN and also participate in some other network - thus providing a "gateway" (in the generic sense) or "bridge" between the two.
