LoRaWAN LoRa Frequency Plans and Regulations by Country
Renzo Mischianti
This document is only a summary of radio regulations, and the appropriate frequency plans that should be used for The Things Network in the respective countries. This is in no way an official document; gateway owners are still obliged to find, study and adhere to their own country’s regulations. Some countries also expect you to register your gateway, or obtain a license. In that case you are using a “free band”, not a “license free band”. In some countries it is also necessary that the gateway is certified (CE, FCC, …) if you allow other people to also communicate via it.
NOTE: This is not a license free band. If you connect to a commercial telecoms operator you are however allowed to use thier frequencies. Please check the rules and obtain a license before running a gateway.
