## About

Our mission is to provide the entire Santa Rosa area with free, community-owned Internet of Things (IoT) data connectivity based on a Long Range Wide-Area Network (LoRaWAN). The network is free and based on an open-source stack managed and owned by the community.

With this resource, community members can design, build and test devices and applications for a wide range of use cases like Air Quality Monitoring, Pet/Cattle/Livestock Tracking, Irrigation, Soil Monitoring, and more.

We are happy to have you join the community. Contact the core team and help us build a thriving IoT ecosystem in Santa Rosa.
