Connect gateways
Create coverage by connecting gateways.
The Things Network is currently developing their own gateways which will be in retail near the end of this year. You can pre-order these affordable gateways in the shop already.
You probably don't want to wait that long. Happily, The Things Network supports different kinds of gateways like the Multitech, Kerlink and Lorank. You can even build your own gateway.
In case you already have a gateway, you can add it to the map.
COMMUNICATION CHANNEL
Create a channel to communicate internally.
In order to communicate internally, we highly recommend you to create a Slack group. It is a free messaging app that helps organizing your team conversation and allows you to directly reach out to members.
You can also use other ways of communication, as long as you make sure people have easy access to join the conversation.

Complete all 4 elements to unlock the final step!
We are working to create a citizen-driven sensor network in Charlottetown, enabling the collection of a variety of data from sensors spread across the city and managed by regular everyday people.
To start, we've called together a small Advisory Committee to work with the City of Charlottetown to establish a LoRaWAN gateway.
We're using the city of Amersfoort, Netherlands, and the Measure Your City effort there as a starting point. We held a helpful videoconference with organizers there to learn more about the spirit and technology of Measure Your City.
By way of getting started, we've ordered a The Things Network gateway; when it arrives, we'll launch an experiment in data-gathering to learn more about how we might proceed.
