There's a new MicroPython board on Kickstarter now, a triple-network development platform which doubles up as a LoRa Nano gateway. Ideal for edge of network applications.
Here is the clever part, you can use the module to route wireless data from WiFi to LoRa (and vice versa) thus making the LoPy both a LoRa Receiver/Transmitter and a Nano gateway capable of handling up to 100 other LoRa nodes! This means you can go and create your own LoRa network for you, your friends or just your Things! No monthly bills for connectivity.
