Netvox LoRaWAN Devices and ThingsBoard

Netvox has more than 400 LoRaWAN end devices that can be integrated into systems supporting the LoRaWAN protocol and are widely used in IoT solutions. By integrating data from Netvox devices into ThingsBoard, users can easily visualize and monitor data through the ThingsBoard dashboard.

Register Netvox devices on a third-party platform

To register a Netvox device, we will use The Things Stack Cloud Discovery. This is a free plan of The Things Stack Cloud that allows you to connect up to 10 devices and 10 gateways with no time restrictions, making it ideal for testing your device.
