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.
Have you created a channel? Great! Please fill in the link below so we can add it to the Resources section of the community page.
Only the core team of Providence can add the communication channel

Welcome Providence, RI and surrounding community!!
A very warm welcome to the Providence area Internet of Things (IoT) community!
In May 2017 we kicked off our quest to provide Providence RI and surrounding area free public IoT network access for all things (IoT). The Providence IoT community will help fund, build and operate our public IoT network.
Our mission is to provide the entire Providence, RI area with Internet of Things data connectivity by crowdsourcing the network by its citizens and local companies.
We are happy to have you join the community. Contact the core team and help us unleash the Internet of Things in Providence, RI.
