Thanks, TIL this phrase.

> LoRaWAN GPS Concentrator

So the "GPS" is oddly placed in the name, it just means "using a GPS receiver to have accurate clock on the gateway".

The "Concentrator" part is just another name for gateway, but specifically one that receives data from different devices over LoRaWAN, collects the data into packets and sends it on to a database or other application somewhere - typically over 4G/5G or wired internet.

Thanks, that was what confused me I guess. I saw results for "LoRaWAN Concentrator" that mostly made sense, but "GPS Concentrator" was throwing me for a loop.
