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.

Topics:

• Intro to The Things Network Adelaide (Growing Data Foundation)

• Adelaide Radio Network (Adelaide Smart City Studio)

• Storage of generated Open Data (eResearchSA)

• Existing examples of LoRaWAN usage in South Australia

• Discussion & networking

We will seek member feedback both at the first meetup and post-meetup on how often to organise future sessions and topics.

A special thank you to Adelaide Smart City Studio staff for the help in organising the venue !
