## About

We would like to provide the entire city of Sion and its neighbourhood 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 Sion ! Any level of skills accepted, even none.

We just deployed the first gateway and two more will be deployed in the upcoming weeks. Enjoy !
