5177 Brandi n Court, Frem ont, CA94538 | Tel : +1 51 0 -4 9 2 -4044 | Fax : +1 510 -4 9 2 -4001 | www.l o ra -al l i anc e.org Document Title Here Your assigned NetID granted pursuant to membership tier are taken away and returned to the available pool of NetIDs to be reassigned to another member (after a three-month grace period). A non-renewing member may elect to retain up to two blocks of 16 Type 7 NetIDs as a non-member LoRaWAN® Network Affiliate upon execution of a nonmember LoRaWAN NetID Application and Agreement. Following the termination of Alliance membership, such allocation of the Type 7 NetIDs will be subject to the terms of the LoRaWAN® Network Affiliate Policy and Terms and shall be subject to the non-member annual fee. 9. What NetIDs are available to non-members? Non-members of LoRa Alliance are eligible for allocation of up to 32 (16 at a time or 32 at once) Type 7 NetIDs based on payment of an annual fee and execution of a binding agreement with LoRa Alliance under the LoRaWAN Network Affiliate program. Each NetID allocation to non-members is granted for one year, and is automatically renewed provided that the non-member network operator remains in full compliance with the NetID Agreement including without limitation the terms of the LoRaWAN Network Affiliate NetID Policy and pays the continuing applicable annual fee for the NetIDs (which fee may be changed by LoRa Alliance from time to time on a prospective basis). If the LoRaWAN Network Affiliate fails to pay applicable ongoing fees or the allocation of NetIDs is terminated due to failure of the network operator to follow the LoRaWAN Network Affiliate NetID Policy, the NetID allocated to the network operator will be returned to the free pool with allocation of the freed NetID to another requesting network operator at the sole discretion of LoRa Alliance. Participation as a LoRaWAN Network Affiliate does not constitute membership in LoRa Alliance and does not establish any rights for the non- member to participate in activities or use any logo, trademark or certification mark of LoRa Alliance. 10. What happens if I use an arbitrary NetID (not the one assigned by the LoRa Alliance)? Your devices cannot be served by any other collaborating network. Network collaboration (i.e., roaming) is based on the NetIDs assigned by the LoRa Alliance. Use of arbitrary NetIDs would lead to increased collisions in the address space of the arbitrary NetID. Use of arbitrary NetIDs is additionally in violation of the LoRa Alliance® Member NetID Policy and Terms and the LoRaWAN® Network Affiliate NetID Policy and Terms.
