Has anyone used Spark's LoRaWAN and can give me an idea of the costs. I need to deploy a few sensors for work, very little traffic but other connectivity options (eg. meshtastic) would not be practical.

Do you need Spark's one specifically? I'm using Yolink LoRaWAN gear and it's fantastic.

Also, you don't need to deal with Spark to use it.

Thank you for the suggestion. I need a LoRaWAN provider, the sensors are not problem. I don't think Yolink has a LoRaWAN service and standard LoRa is not an option.

I hadn't heard of them. Do you know the pricing?

They seem to only provide coverage in main centres and I need to do environmental monitering well outside of cities.
