## About

On a mission to provide Lagos with the opportunity to connect to a free LoRaWAN IoT data network!

We are building the LoRaWAN Internet of Things data network in Lagos, this will help to showcase Lagos as the regional hub for Internet of Things development, and bring the IoT's benefits to every area of the Lagos metropolitan and to the rest of Nigeria.
Lagos is a fast growing mega city, the commercial hub of Nigeria and West Africa. IoT will enhance the capacity of the city and state and the things network will bring tremendous added value.
If you are interested in our mission, we would love to hear from you, Higher Institutions, Businesses, individuals are all welcome !!!
