More Information
–Description:
With technology just a few months on the market it is possible to build an internet network for things without 3G or WiFi. It is called The Things Network.
We are on a mission to provide this technology globally through crowdsourcing. We managed to launch a network covering Amsterdam in six weeks. Eight weeks later Sao Paulo, Boston, Buenos Aires, Kochi and Sydney were doing the same.
We enable DYI-ers and citizens to build a carrier grade network bottom up. More doing, less talking. Something the IoT needs to escape the hype phase.
