## About

We are on a mission to provide Walloon region, Belgium with a free IOT data network!

First, we have deployed a minimal network coverage for the cities of **Liège** and **Charleroi** as a "beta version".

Next step is to extend the network across **all Wallonia**, that's why we need **your** help!

Come and join us ;-)
