The Things Gateway is open! Come forth all ye who wish for a community-led, open-source Internet of Things smart city network. This Internet gateway router is designed by The Things Network, so you know it will work perfectly with TTN. Make a free account, plug it in, follow the easy step-by-step installation instructions and you've got yourself a LoRaWAN to Internet gateway in under 5 minutes. No setup or usage fees!

A huge boon to the global IoT community, the Gateway can feasibly connect any kind of digital sensor to a homegrown app. Teams in several cities have begun work to launch their own local networks and platforms, ranging from temperature sensors for food storage or alerts when trash cans need emptying. The possibilities are endless, and now you can even join in and help add coverage in your neighborhood. (Of course, you can set it up for non-public usage but it's more fun when you share!)

This stingray lookin' base station is your LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide-area Network) router to connect your devices to the Internet of Things. Activate your gateway in just 5 minutes to create your own local network. This version operates at 915MHz for use in the US.
