## About

Let's join our hands together to provide Sri Lanka with a Free IoT Data Network with countrywide coverage.

The Things Network uses the LoRaWAN technology which makes the things capable to connect and communicate with the Internet without 3G or WiFi up to 0~30 km.

With this I welcome all Sri Lankan government and private organizations and individual to come and join their hands together to support rolling out this tremendous Free IoT data network in Sri Lanka.
