Has the option to add a gateway to IoT Core disappeared?

Question

Currently trying to get started with IoT Core for my business, and all the documentation tells me how easy it is to add a LoRaWAN gateway via the Console, and how I can just click "Get Started" followed by "Add Gateway". However, there is simply no "Add Gateway" option. I have sifted through every single link there is on the sidebar - with and without the "New Console Experience" option checked - and every single piece of documentation that I can lay my hands on, to try and find where this option is. What can I possibly be missing?

The closest thing that I can find - Add a Device - keeps asking whether my device is running Linux or Windows and which SDK I would like to download. Surely there is no need for all that just for the sake of adding a gateway that's in my hand as we speak?

Accepted Answer

Hi. What region are you operating in? AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN is not available in all regions. I suspect that's the problem. You should have **LPWAN devices** under **Manage** in your menu if you've selected a supported region. Supported regions:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/iot-core.html#iot-wireless_region

If you are in a region that supports it, then when you click the link [AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN Intro page](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iot/home#/wireless/landing) in the documentation, it will take you to the **LPWAN devices** menu section of the New console experience. And this has the **Get started** button leading to the **Add gateway** button.
