From late December 2016 we had our first #TTN LoRa Gateway up and running. Followed the DIY path using a RaspberryPi the IMST iC880A concentrator board and the LoRaWAN code repo on [github](https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork) and of course the [wiki](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/wiki/Home).

We have already deployed various apps in the TTN console and there is an active integration with Azure & Node-RED. TEAM members of **[TLab](https://www.tlab.gr/)** have undertaken the task of testing and deploying various open-source sw/hw technologies bringing **IoT** closer to reality!

And yes! #LoRa already has great coverage in Thessaloniki :)
