Hello Trackpac users, IoT enthusiasts, and newcomers! Prepare to elevate your Trackpac experience with our latest updates that are making it more robust, user-friendly, and cost-effective.

🚀 Trackpac Gains Its Own NetID

We’re thrilled to announce that Trackpac now has its own Type 7 NetID, granted by the LoRaWAN® Alliance. This enables us to offer LoRaWAN® Network Server (LNS) services and forge strategic partnerships for expanded network capabilities.

With our new NetID we now use the helium network via roaming, allowing us to mix private and public gateways and add new roaming partners expanding how our clients can use Trackpac.

🌐 Say Hello to Our Sister Company: ChirpCloud.co.uk

ChirpCloud.co.uk — Chirpstack LNS Hosting

Born from our own need for high-availability LNS hosting services, Trackpac proudly presents its new sister brand, https://chirpcloud.co.uk/.

With prices for shared tenancy starting at just £50 per month, ChirpCloud focuses on providing top-tier ChirpStack hosting for your LoRaWAN® projects.

For those wondering, data transfer over helium remains at just $0.00001 per packet and is paid monthly via stripe invoice.

This separates the usage of the helium network from its crypto side, allowing more companies to use the network without having to handle and account for crypto.

🤝 Extending Our Roaming Capabilities with PacketBroker.net

PacketBroker.net

Now that we have our own NetID, we are thrilled to add PacketBroker.net to our roaming options.

PacketBroker.net is a neutral and open Internet of Things packet broker allowing IoT operators to interoperate according to the open principles of the internet.

Our mission is to collaborate with as many LoRaWAN® networks as possible to make global coverage a reality for our devices.

Stay tuned for more roaming partner announcements over the coming weeks!

We’ve optimised our architecture using serverless technology and added a new S3 storage layer. The result? A sensor cost of £15 ($18) per year, a significant reduction from our old prices of £32 ($40).
