## About

Our mission is to provide a space for the Gainesville, FL community to learn, collaborate, and build IoT networks for homes and businesses with the Things Network. Got something you want to monitor or keep track of like temperature, humidity, motion, doors opening and closing? We like to use an LPWAN technology (Low-power wide-area network) called LoraWAN that enables you to go way beyond your WiFi connection range. This makes it perfect for inside connectivity in a large building as well as outside connectivity in yards, gardens, and farms.

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