 * This class represents the network server's knowledge about a gateway in
 * the LoRaWAN network it is administering.
 *
 * The network server's NetworkStatus component contains a list of instances of
 * this class, one for gateway in the network. Each instance contains all
 * the parameters and information of the gateway. This class is used by the network server for
 * downlink scheduling and sending purposes. That is, to check the gateway's availability for radio
 * transmission, and then to retrieve the correct Net Device to send the packet through.
