The Things Network is based on LORA (Long Range Radio), which provides an average of 10 kilometers a much greater range than WiFi, but unlike mobile Internet requires no subscription - and so is ideal for devices that always need connection, but do not use a loT of data. Wienke is on a mission to provide the world a free and open Internet of Things Network. The company crowdsourced a complete city-wide Internet of Things data network with the people of Amsterdam in 6 weeks using a new technology named LoraWAN™. The technology allows for things to talk to the internet without 3G or WiFi. So no WiFi codes and no mobile subscriptions. It features low battery usage, long range and low bandwidth. Perfect for the internet of things. The Things Network is doing the same for the Internet of Things by creating abundant data connectivity. So applications and businesses can flourish: - New Data Connectivity Technologies, - Low Costs, - Crowdsourcing. Wienke Giezeman
