With technology just a few months on the market it is possible to build an internet network for things without 3G or WiFi. It is called The Things Network.

We are on a mission to provide this technology globally through crowdsourcing. We managed to launch a network covering Amsterdam in six weeks. Eight weeks later Sao Paulo, Boston, Buenos Aires, Kochi and Sydney were doing the same.

We enable DYI-ers and citizens to build a carrier grade network bottom up. More doing, less talking. Something the IoT needs to escape the hype phase.

This workshop will tell you all about setting up this IoT network in your area and how to build use cases.
