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.
Only the core team of Lünen can add the communication channel
UNLEASH TTN Lünen
Congratulations! You have completed all the activities. It's time to kick-off The Things Network Lünen and become an official community!
We would like to invite you to organize a launch event which is open for anyone to join. An open event is a great way to attract new contributors to the community and provides an opportunity to involve local press which helps in spreading the story of The Things Network even further.
You can find some tips for organizing a great event here.
See the press release of TNW about The Things Network here.
We recommend you to use Meetup for organizing the event. Other platforms like Eventbrite or Facebook can also be used as long as you make sure people can easily find and sign up for the event.
Have you set a date and found a location? Please inform us about it because Wienke, Johan, Rish or Laurens would love to (virtually) join the event. Please keep us up to date by sending a message.

Welcome to The Things Network
Hello out there,
we just get started with our LoRa TTN project in Lünen - NRW - Germany. We are very ambitious to provide Internet of Things data connectivity to the entire city of Lünen. Crowdsourcing the network by its citizens and local companies is one of our goals.
We have planned to measure the water level of the river Lippe, built a LoRa driven weather station, measure fine dust in different areas of Lünen and last but not least to measure the temperature , humidity and weight of bee-hives.
We would be very pleased, if you join our community. Feel free to contact our core team and help us to unleash the full potential of the Internet of Things in Lünen.
As we are a FabLab community your are also welcome to visit us in our lab.
