Why teams pick Datacake's LoRaWAN Network Server
Free in every plan
The LNS is included at no cost on every Datacake plan, including the free tier. No separate LNS subscription. No per-gateway billing. No hidden infrastructure fees.
Production-grade, fully managed
We operate the network server for you: patching, scaling and monitoring included. The same stack runs from a single dev kit to production estates with many thousands of devices.
Multi-region from one account
Run EU868, US915, AU915, AS923 and more from a single organization. Mix regions across global deployments without juggling separate LNS tenants.
MQTT & webhooks out of the box
Stream decoded uplinks to your own systems via HTTPS webhooks or subscribe to a real-time MQTTS broker. Use the LNS even if your application stack lives elsewhere.
Bring your own gateway
Connect any gateway via Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder or LoRa Basics Station: RAK, Kerlink, Multitech, Dragino, Tektelic, Mikrotik and more.
422+ supported devices, ready out of the box
Add any of our LoRaWAN device templates and skip the payload-decoder work, Datacake parses uplinks into clean fields, applies a starter dashboard and pre-configures downlinks where the firmware exposes them.

Not just an LNS, a full end-to-end IoT platform
Most network servers hand you a JSON payload and stop. With Datacake, the same uplink lands in a complete IoT platform, dashboards, alerts, user management, white-label and a mobile app, included free. Use the LNS stand-alone, or build the entire solution here.
