## About

Our mission: To cover the whole area of Alkmaar redundantly.
So we need coverage per spot for 2 or 3 gateways.

If you would like to participate/help or you are at current blind spot. Please contact us, to see what we can do.

We need to push Alkmaar into the IoT (LoRaWan) area. Companies, development parties, government... all should be able to create applications that work seamlessly in Alkmaar.
