## About

On a mission to provide Almelo (NL) with The Things Network coverage!

The Things Network is expanding but the Almelo area has at this moment limited coverage (there are 4 gateways active : Almelo, Wierden, Vriezenveen). So are you a resident of Almelo, one of the nearby cities (Wierden, Vriezenveen etc) or work in Almelo, you like to experiment with new technology and/or wireless communication and you think the IOT is the next best thing? Then join this community and share you're idea's.
