Nijmegen - The Things Network Community

Join this community

Our mission is to provide the entire city of Nijmegen with Internet of Things data connectivity by crowdsourcing the network by its citizens, municipality and local companies.
The Things Network uses Low Power Wide Area Network: "LoRaWAN". A low energy communication technique.

LoRaWAN has the potential to enable an entire new class of use cases for the Internet of Things, but we need to open this up to the hacker/maker community.
And the best way to do it, is to build the network ourselves. A free (as in beer), open network (free as in speech), based on an open-source stack, owned by the community itself to enable all the tinkerers and hackers and just about everyone with an interest in the technology, to build and prototype on top of it. We work together as a community including social movements, businesses, public institutions, universities and domestic users.
Each one of us benefits from a commons-based network, that we build and control collectively.
It is a commons on the level of the protocols, the software, the hardware designs and the antennas itself.
Set up an antenna, develop and use software & hardware applications, ... do your thing :-)

The coverage of the network is expanding and can be viewed on the website: www.ttnmapper.org

In 2020 we organise events once every two weeks on wednesday evening starting at 19:30. You are welcome to pay a visit at the Hackerspace Nijmegen community located at the Elzenstraat 4A.
Join the Hackerspace Nijmegen meetup group to be informed about events and workshops.
