The Things Industries’ Global Join Server provides the place to register devices and securely store keys, even before you know which network a device will connect to.
The Join Server stores LoRaWAN root keys and generates session keys to enable secure transmission of LoRaWAN messages. We offer a Global Join Server which interfaces with our own as well as 3rd party LoRaWAN networks. When devices are registered to the Global Join Server, keys are safe, and end-users can configure their network of choice, at any moment.

No need to know beforehand which network will be used

The device maker registers a device in our Join Server with its own LoRaWAN root keys or keys generated by us. The device maker then creates an authentication code that is shipped along with the device.
The end user receives the devices and claims ownership of the device in the Join Server, using the authentication code. This can be done via the console, a QR code or command utility.
The end user configures the network server and triggers the devices to join. The device is now active, without the risk and hassle of a manual key-handover.
