Can LORA module transmit/receive via MQTT ?

Hi

I'm using WAP Lora8 with 6.4x version of RouterOS.

The only way to communicate the LORA modem with 3rd party elements (eg. network server like TTN or Chirpstack) is via the Semtech pkt forwarder which we specify remote IP and tx/rx udp ports.

Is there a way to configure the LORA modem to use MQTT for communication instead of semtech packet forwared protocol?

Thanks
Antonio

AFAIK, it's only LoRaWAN protocol, and there is no access to the LoRa frames themselves.

One option is to run Chirpstack in an Mikrotik container, so IPs all be local and that get you MQTT ... although I haven't tried that.

Although it would be nifty to be able to Tx/Rx arbitrary data over LoRa, without LoRaWAN protocol...
