## About

Through The Things Network, to bring the Internet of Things to the Copper Coast region of South Australia

We have a simple goal: to deliver 3 TTN Gateways, one for each of the major towns in the Copper Coast. The first has been deployed in Moonta, with 2 more to follow in Kadina and Wallaroo.
The Copper Coast is a wonderful place to live and visit. It is less than 2 hours drive from Adelaide and combines attractive towns with a rich mining and maritime history.
Innovation is what brought thousands of Cornish miners to the area in the 1800s and we want to continue in that spirit of innovation, bringing the joys of the IOT to the community
