## About

Lets join and build an open, free and community owned network for Chennai.

The Things Network technologies allow for things to connect to the internet without using 3G or WiFi. This technology is called LoRaWAN and it is perfect for the Internet of Things as it is low battery, long range, and low bandwidth. Imagine a network that can be used without cumbersome WiFi passwords, mobile subscriptions, and zero setup costs.

The Things Network Chennai is initiated with an objective to build an open, free and community-owned IoT data network for communities in the City of Chennai and to help each other out in the world of IoT. 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.
