Introduction to Smart City Infrastructure

When I first started working on smart city projects, I realized that the key to efficient and reliable infrastructure lies in the combination of Edge AI and Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWANs). Last quarter, our team discovered that leveraging LoRaWAN technology for LPWANs significantly improved the scalability and performance of our smart city applications. However, choosing the right network server for LoRaWAN can be daunting. In this article, I'll share my experience comparing ChirpStack 4.2 and The Things Stack 3.20 for our smart city infrastructure needs.

The Problem: Choosing the Right LoRaWAN Network Server

We were faced with the challenge of selecting a suitable LoRaWAN network server that could efficiently manage our devices, handle high volumes of data, and ensure reliable communication. After researching and testing, we narrowed down our options to ChirpStack 4.
