## About

Let's build an open, free and community-owned IoT data network for Los Angeles!

Our mission is to provide the entire city of Los Angeles with Internet of Things data connectivity by crowdsourcing the network from our fellow Angelenos and local businesses.

LoRaWAN has the potential to enable an entire new class of use cases for the Internet of Things. We already have started the process of covering different parts of the city with gateways that provide connectivity to thousands. However, LA is enormous and we need to find more places willing to host our gateways before our job is done.
