## About

¡Hola! Nuestra misión es proveer a la provincia entera de Cartago con conectividad de datos para hacer Internet de las Cosas (IoT). Nuestra comunidad es abierta a quien quiera integrarse y existen mil formas de colaborar: facilitando un Gateway, ideas de proyectos, compartiendo experiencias, ideas y ¡hasta preguntando!.

No es requerido que seas un ingeniero en sistemas o en electrónica. Todas los quehaceres y experticies son bienvenidos porqué **de eso se trata hacer el Internet de las Cosas**.

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

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