## About

Let's build a **free and open source network** for IoT applications in St. Gallen.

LoRaWAN has the potential to enable an entire new class of use cases for the Internet of Things, but we need to open this up to the hacker/maker community. And the best way to do it, is to **build the network ourselves**. A **free**, **open** network, based on an open-source stack, **owned by the community itself** to enable all the tinkerers and hackers and just about everyone with an interest in the technology to **build and prototype on top of it**.
