## About

The Internet of Things is driving innovation, from smart cities, home, and classrooms to energy management and wearable devices. The Things Network is about enabling low power Devices to use long range Gateways to connect to an open-source, decentralized Network to exchange data with Applications and Platforms.

Our mission is to provide the entire Calabar with Internet of Things data connectivity by crowdsourcing the network by its citizens and local companies.

Find everything you need to start building IoT devices and applications, from documentation, tools, and support to a community of like-minded developers.

We are happy to have you join the community. Contact the core team and help us unleash the Internet of Things in Calabar.
