On May 17th 2017, The **University of Wollongong** launches its**Digital Living Lab** in Wollongong, in collaboration with **Meshed**, **Wollongong City Council** and **Sydney Water**. This LoRaWAN network will serve nearly a quarter of million residents and thousands of businesses with initial applications ranging from wheelchair accessibility or independent ageing to stormwater monitoring and safety appraisal. Many more people-centric applications will follow thanks to the infinite pool of talented start-ups provided by UOW's **iAccelerate Centre**. UOW's **SMART Infrastructure Facility** has also created an **Open IoT Hub** where researchers, residents, entrepreneurs and students are able to share ideas, submit problems and develop solutions together.
Stay tuned!
