## About

The Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek was founded almost 100 years ago in Hilversum. The first radio broadcast was in 1923 from their factory. Hilversum is now the Media Capital of the Netherlands so hooking up to the ThingsNetwork is the next logical step.

We will supply the first Gateway in Hilversum, we're located in a nice office downtown and will cover most of Hilversum. We're looking for more people who can help us making the coverage and support even better. We will develop applications with our team of qualified engineers. We will work together with the local government, Immovator and the Media Campus. We're part of a Arduino project with local schools. We'll connect those to the network.
