Our mission is to provide the entire Norfolk with Internet of Things data connectivity by crowdsourcing the network by its citizens and local companies.

We are happy to have you join the community. Contact the core team and help us unleash the Internet of Things in Norfolk.

We are starting with hosting gateways in Norwich and should have coverage by the end of March 2017.

We are interested in all sensor applications: Smart City and Agri-tech
