Yes, I was thinking IP for simplicity's sake. Just lightweight control packets and the occasional SSH session. I think I've seen references to people doing that.
I was thinking off the shelf concentrator cards would be easier if two of them could communicate with each other in a P2P fashion, and if that was supported by common software.
Is that packet forwarding daemon the thing that is generally used on all LoRaWAN gateways? Like if I got a Mikrotik wAP LR9, would I expect it to be running that? Or better yet, if I plugged a miniPCIe (USB) R11e-LR9 into my own Linux machine, could I expect it to just work with that gateway software?
It seems the basic interface is serial links with AT commands, so perhaps the compatibility issues are trivial once you start playing around with this stuff. It's just hard to tell by reading the overview docs because they seem to be geared towards the LoRaWAN system.
