Connect gateways
Create coverage by connecting gateways.
The Things Network is currently developing their own gateways which will be in retail near the end of this year. You can pre-order these affordable gateways in the shop already.
You probably don't want to wait that long. Happily, The Things Network supports different kinds of gateways like the Multitech, Kerlink and Lorank. You can even build your own gateway.
In case you already have a gateway, you can add it to the map.
COMMUNICATION CHANNEL
Create a channel to communicate internally.
In order to communicate internally, we highly recommend you to create a Slack group. It is a free messaging app that helps organizing your team conversation and allows you to directly reach out to members.
You can also use other ways of communication, as long as you make sure people have easy access to join the conversation.
Have you created a channel? Great! Please fill in the link below so we can add it to the Resources section of the community page.

Complete all 4 elements to unlock the final step!
Our mission is to provide the entire South East Cheshire & North Stafford area with Internet of Things data connectivity by crowdsourcing the network by its citizens and local companies.
Centered on Keele University (though with no official connection) for convenience and as a key local landmark with a 15-20Km community radius, we hope to eventually cover an area from the Congleton, Sandbach, Crewe, & Nantwhich arc to the north, down through Alsager, Kidsgrove, Keele, Stoke-on-Trent to Stone, Eccleshall and Market Drayton to the south and east to close by Leek & Cheadle.
This should help extend and bridge the coverage of key transport infrastructure linking Birmingham and the Black Country to the south with the Mersey Valley conurbations - Liverpool through Warrington to Manchester to the north, looking to the M6 & A34 corridors along with a key section of the West Coast rail network and even local canals and rivers
We are happy to have you join the community. Contact the core team and help us unleash the Internet of Things in Keele.
