## About

We are on a mission to provide the Rivierenland region with a free IoT LoRa network!

Want to get involved? Join us and host a gateway or help us develop new connected devices and applications. The Internet of Things (IoT) has the ability to revolutionize the way we live and work and we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate. Inexpensive long-range radio technology is now available that can help us create an open and free IoT LoRa network for Rivierenland.

**Let's bring the Internet of Things to all of us in Rivierenland!**

Join us to create full coverage in the full area containing:

- Neder-Betuwe
- Tiel
- Buren
- Neerijnen
- Culemborg
- Geldermalsen
- Lingewaal
- Maasdriel
- Zaltbommel
- West Maas en Waal

Our team consists of companies and individual contributors who are enthousiastic about IoT and LoRaWAN.
**We are excited!**
