With a goal in mind of creating a LoRaWAN network I decided to take the plunge and get involved with TTN. I've always had an interest in IoT, radio and networking so why not combine them to create a LoRaWAN network! I'm hoping a few friends might be able to help and if your are reading this and want to help then please do get in touch.
