TTN Adelaide provides free, open long-range wireless connectivity for IoT devices across metropolitan Adelaide and surrounds.</p> <h2 id="the-network">The network</h2> <p>The Things Network uses LoRaWAN technology to allow sensors and devices to communicate over distances of several kilometres without mobile subscriptions or WiFi. Gateways installed by community volunteers and organisations create a shared public network that anyone can use for environmental monitoring, smart city applications, agriculture and community science projects.</p> <h2 id="the-tech">The tech</h2> <p>LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a low-power wireless protocol ideal for battery- operated sensors in parks, farms, buildings and waterways. TTN Adelaide gateways relay sensor data to a free, open network server, and the collected data is made available through open APIs.</p> <h2 id="about">About</h2> <p>In 2019 the Growing Data Foundation was awarded the sole rights to host The Things Network Asia Pacific On Tour Conference in Adelaide, drawing over 150 attendees from across the region. TTN Adelaide continues to grow as a shared community resource underpinning citizen science, education and environmental monitoring projects across South Australia.</p>https://gdf.org.au/projects/the-things-network-adelaide/Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://gdf.org.au/projects/the-things-network-adelaide/<p> <figure > <div class="flex justify-center "> <div class="w-full" ><img src="https://gdf.org.au/media/2019/04/gdf_header_thethingsnetwork.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy" data-zoomable /></div> </div></figure> </p> <p>We are advocating for the development of a city-wide Internet of Things data network in Adelaide.
