gentlemen… English please 
Hi everybody,
I have an project appartment in Heisingen running a Lorix One Gateway. So I am also happy to participate and support the Essen Community 
Br Peter
I’m happy to hear that.
Also, I got contacted by a member of the newly founded TTN community “Emscher-Lippe”. They already had a first meeting, so maybe we could join them next time.
Hi Don-Hege,
we are located in the western part of Muelheim an der Ruhr (Speldorf) and would like to test our sensors with existing gateways. Where is the closest one which is active? Who is running it? Contact details?
BR,
Peter
Hi,
for a current overview of which gateways exist and where they are located, you can have a look on our TTN page here: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/community/essen/ On that page you can also see if the gateway is online currently and the owner is also stated most of the times.
If you want to have a look into the current coverage in your area, you can also go to https://ttnmapper.org/, where real-live ranges of existing gateways are posted.
But if you really need to test new sensors, you could also get your own gateway. 
Best regards
Marco
Edit: I just saw that a new indoor gateway was announced at The Things Conference. Price is just $70. Sounds to good to be true, but we will see (and we will also see if there are any limitations).
Edit2: Meanwhile, more information are available here: https://thethingsindustries.pr.co/170876-the-things-industries-announces-a-low-cost-lorawan-indoor-gateway-together-with-gemtek-and-rs Looks like this is what you need for testing. It connects to the internet through WiFi and can be plugged straight into any socket.
Hi,
I´ve just installed a new Gateway in Essen-Frohnhausen. Actually it is located indoor but when the wether get better I will install it outdoor. The community here seems to have fallen asleep. Is there anybody out there?
Best Regards
Ivan
Hi Ivan,
there sure is!
Maybe anyone would be up for a in-person meeting in March or April?
