If the sensors are located on one level, vertical mounting of the LoRaWAN

The location should ideally be in the middle of the area to be covered.
If the sensors are located on several levels, the gateway should be placed in the middle of the building and the gateway

In outdoor areas, ensure that the gateway is mounted at a sufficient height and not covered by anything in the immediate
■
