## About

We want to establish The Things Network in and around the city of Hamburg.

For that, we already set up two gateways on rooftops in Hamburg-Altona and Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg.
Especially the use-cases of LoRaWAN networks are very interesting for us, e.g. measuring certain environmental parameters at locations where there is no Internet connection and no continous power source.

At the moment, we are a loose association of people interested in The Things Network. A monthly meeting is not established yet. In the future we plan to offer some workshops from time to time, e.g. in regard to setting up a LoRaWAN enabled sensor or building an outdoor gateway based on a Raspberry Pi.
