Private NetworkingRun The Things Network components on-premise: Docker images are made available and maintained by the core team
A private networks optionally falls back to community coverage and vice-versa
Fair Access Policy• All users need to be able to reliably use the network• We need to comply with global spectrum regulations• We want to support at least 1.000 nodes per gateway• Duty cycle of the gateway needs to remain << 10%
• Achieved by limiting air time per node to 30 seconds per day
• This is a guideline for fair access: it will not be enforced immediately
