ST-ICUBE-LRWAN - What's the planned development?

[lyanchev]

Dear ST and Community,
We are using STM32L series in a variety of LoRaWAN IoT Devices.
We have 10 products and have produced roughly 0.5M units so far.

We use the I-CUBE-LRWAN project for a long time. It's a great project, but it looks like the development has stopped. The LoRa Alliance continues improving the LoRaWAN protocol, but it seems like the ST-ICUBE-LRWAN is somewhat stuck in the past. A few examples include lack of FUOTA, Device-to-device communication and more.

I know the project is based on another project called LoRaMAC, which I believe is also discontinued.
The new open-source implementation of the stack is available by Semtech, it is called LoRa Basics Modem and is to be found here: https://github.com/lora-net/SWL2001/tree/v4.3.0

I wonder if ST is planning to continue improving the ST-ICUBE-LRWAN or we should plan migration to the Semtech implementation? Obviously, it'll be better if experienced engineers from ST port the Semtech stack implementation to STM32L, but I don't know what's your strategy and therefore what to inquire here.

Best regards

You didn't get a reply to your very reasonable question. Can I ask what you decided to do for the future? I'm about to make a similar decision regarding what to build a new LoRaWAN product on and right now it seems like there is nothing in active development.

Thanks for any insight you can share.
