## About

Our mission is to provide the city and region of Zwolle with Internet of Things data connectivity by crowdsourcing the network by its citizens and local companies.

We believe the Internet of Things (IoT) through a public LoRaWAN brings great social and economic possibilities. Starting in Zwolle we hope this will soon spread all across the wider region of Zwolle. We like to help build the community that can bring this network even further. So, please join the team!
