## LoRaWAN

### Datacake LNS - LoRaWAN Network Server

The Datacake IoT platform features **an integrated LoRaWAN network server**. That means you can **add your gateways and your LoRaWAN devices directly to the platform** without the need for an external network server.

{% endcontent-ref %}

And the best part of it is that **it's absolutely free**. So even for your first five free devices, you can add any gateway and any devices to the platform directly. 

### Third Party LNS

Datacake also integrates with any third-party LoRaWAN Network Server. We have integrations for Actility, The Things Stack, Loriot, KPN and many more. Check out:
