In order to enable development KPN allows small volumes of uncertified devices (less than 256). This is only allowed in development projects that have a goal of certification in the long term.
In short:
- To connect new types of devices on the KPN LoRa Network, a proof of certification is needed.
- When devices or modules are used that are certified themselves, no extra certification is needed as long as no changes are made to the devices of modules that could impact certification.
- Whenever the implementation of the LoRaWAN protocol on certified devices or modules are changed, a new certification will be needed.
Please note that on top of certification, we also have a list of required and advised best practices in this topic.
