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.

Silkeborg has been backed with three gateways to allow for educational purposes for citizens and their children in Silkeborg for measurements in nature: play and learn with devices, IoT and Data, applications and integrations.
One GW is placed, the other two await locations in Silkeborg, hopefully in co-operation with the Silkeborg Municipality.
For those interested in Silkeborg, it is possible to contact the initiator of this community, Owen Brotherwood.
As the initiator of this community, the first interest is for play and learn for 8-18, however, the ttn is available, members of the Silkeborg Community and the citizens of Silkeborg, are welcome to find other uses for this thing.
As the ttn transport, LoRaWAN, is open for usage, businesses in Silkeborg can begin to use the transport of their encrypted data to integrations and applications to allow for growth in Silkeborg for IoT and Data with the possibility for future jobs for the children that are the first aim of this community.
There is also The Things Network Denmark where there is activity, where other communities, cities and towns are under way.
LoRaWAN?

Children?
- well, that is the story to be filmed in Silkeborg: #1: Make IT happen
