Hi I'm new to the Kitchener/Waterloo community and just set up my own gateway.

I think there's a huge gain for all makers interested in the LoRa technology in expanding the coverage of the Kitchener/Waterloo area.

Let's think beyond our own particular need, and pool together in order to build a wide network that will reach everywhere in the city.

The major benefit of such a strategy can be to anyone building moving assets monitored through LoRa, but also to anyone needing to install devices at every corner of Kitchener and/or Waterloo without having to bear the cost of building the whole infrastructure alone.
