## About

Wir bauen ein offenes freies IoT Datennetz für die Region Südwestfalen und den zugehörigen Ortschaften mittels LoRaWAN. Das Netz wird von den Mitgliedern geplant, gebaut und unterhalten.
Jeder ist willkommen, ob engagierter Hobbyist oder an Innovationen interessierte Unternehmen!

Our mission is to provide the entire Region of Soutwestfalia 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 Arnsberg!
