January 29 2016 the IoT NY meetup presented IoT NY #28: A Decentralized,
Open IoT – The Things Network
<http://www.meetup.com/IoT-NY/events/228262538/>. Wienke Giezeman, Johan
Stokking introduced The Things Network <http://thethingsnetwork.org/>, a
decentralized, community-owned and built IoT data network. The technology
uses LoRaWAN <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRaWAN> and allows for things
to connect to the internet through low-cost gateways that can connect up to
10.000 devices in a radius of 5km. It features low battery usage, long
range, and low bandwidth, so is a great fit for sensor data. Their
manifesto states that the network is open. Any work created in the
community will be open sourced. The Things Network is set up in a
decentralized way to not have any single point of control or failure.
Nothing is centralized or owned by the founders. The Things Network started
only 6 months ago and is already active in more than 50 cities around the
world. The webcast will start at 7:30pm EST tonight.
