## About

We strive to build a free, community-driven IoT network for the whole city to tinker, experiment and develop with!

We were able to cover nearly the whole inner city of Ulm within about three months, starting in November 2016. Through additional gateways built by enthusiasts and educational institutions, we are still constantly expanding into the outskirts and beyond.
If you are a volunteer enthusiast and want to contribute, get in touch! We are supported by initiative.ulm.digital, an association of like-minded people who want to foster creative ways of interacting with and improving the city we all have come to love.
