For #OpenStreetMap mappers in the #UK seeing #LoRaWAN back-haul transceivers appear on utility_pole and street_light infra apparently, they are apparently operated by #ConnexinLTD and used by several water utilities for remote metering.

I've according added a new Wikidata:Q135981913 entry and started tagging:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/12964215044

#OSM tagging conundrum for LoRaWAN remote utility meter reading base stations (Part 2)

Add-on to an existing street light pole.
This is a bit harder as it is both a street light, AND a base station:

highway=street_lamp
lamp_mount=straight_mast
lamp_type=LED
utility=water
communication:lorawan=yes ?
utility=water
operator=Northumbrian Water Limited
operator:wikidata=Q7059853

Any suggestions please?

#OSM tagging conundrum for LoRaWAN remote utility meter reading base stations (Part 1)

Dedicated wooden pole, radio base station, solar power.

Best I can come up with is:
height=5m
man_made=utility_pole
material=wood
utility=water
communication:lorawan=yes - extrapolate from towers and masts?
utility=water
operator=Northumbrian Water Limited
operator:wikidata=Q7059853
pole:type=communication

Any suggestions please?

#OpenStreetMap

The combination of a #Brompton #bike and the #NorthumberlandLine train is rather good.

Personal teleport that runs on fat, and a £1.60 train journey for the longer section.

Almost perfect - just need active travel links to Ashington Station, and Councillors/ Architects/ Planners to actually ride a bike to understand reality!
