In about a week, we have completed all 4 steps to become an official [The Things Network](https://thethingsnetwork.org/) community!
Let's start LoRaWAN with The Things Network in Central Switzerland!
To unleash TTN Zentralschweiz officially, we will have a kick-off event! The date and location will be anounced. Stay tuned!

In Central Switzerland, there are already about 5 gateways online. We need more to cover the whole region!
If you know a good location for a gateway or would like to host a gateway your own, check [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/419277966/the-things-network). If you can't wait, we're also building our own gateways (rpi + IMST IC880 based).
Feel free to [contact](mailto:info@ttnzentralschweiz.ch) and of course, join us!

Spread the word: [TTN Zentralschweiz](https://thethingsnetwork.org/c/zentralschweiz) is coming to your town!
