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.

UNLEASH TTN Warrington
Complete all 4 elements to unlock the final step!
Our mission is to provide the entire Warrington area & surrounding districts with Internet of Things data connectivity by crowdsourcing the network by its citizens and local companies. With an initial focus on the WA1 & WA4 post code areas with existing and pop-up gateways in the town center, to the east around Woolston, Padgate & Birchwood/M6 area and to the south of the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, the plan is to scale out to the north towards the Newton-Le-Willows & St.Helens District boundaries, to the south beyond Stockton Heath & Appleton, to the west down stream of the Mersey Valley beyond Penketh, Sankey and perhaps the district boundaries with Widnes, Runcorn & Prescott and upstrean to the east towards Cadishead & Partington up to the Irlam district boundary. Ultimately we would like to bridge the Liverpool & Manchester TTN Communities to provide continuous coverage in the M56, M62, River Mersey/Ship Canal & local rail infrastructure corridors.
Significant coverage tests have already been conducted from the focus areas and a number of pop-up sites in the region.....stay tuned for coverage updates and new gateway/base-station sites in the coming weeks and months.
We are happy to have you join the community. Contact the core team and help us unleash the Internet of Things in Warrington.
