Houston - The Things Network Community

Join this community

Welcome Houston Area TTN Community and LoRa implementers
Our mission is to provide the Greater Houston area with Internet of Things data connectivity by crowdsourcing the network through its citizens and local companies.
We are growing and would like help to add LoRA gateways to our community. That way, more people will be able to use and test nodes, which is a primary objective of ours.
Provide Greater Houston area with an open and free IoT experience!

It is not just hardware and expertise that we need... If you know of any location that will allow us to mount an external gateway and antenna, please contact us!
