Thanks for the post! We are very happy how this is progressing and for all the contribution around the world.
Anyone know what frequency bands these are being deployed in in the US? I am assuming they using the 902-928Mhz ISM license free band.
Licensed frequencies would make this significantly more involved to deploy in the US.
Support The Things Network. They are not only supplying easy to activate hardware, they are hard at work at an excellent architecture (http://forum.thethingsnetwork.org/t/request-for-comments-net...) and a clean, easy to use integration framework.
Two questions: 1) are there technical restrictions for using this mesh network with remote aerial sensors, i.e. does it hurt badly when nodes move? 2) how well would it perform indoors in manufacturing plants? I'm thinking of low-cost adhoc industrial IoT prototyping.
Awesome effort! We're following Amsterdam's example in Zurich and building a TTN network over here. The initial tests went great and we're now preparing to deploy more gateways real soon!
Let's cover the US together! We don't have to wait on big corp's to do it, let's make it ourselves!
How does this compare to the SIGFOX network?
The range of these things is inmense, the possiblities endless: I love how you guys bring this technology to everyone!
Great Job! Singapore and Malaysia will TTN soon also, the things.. are in motion.
How can we get this in Victoria, BC, Canada? Anybody want to team up?
Groningen pledged a city wide network within 12h. You guys rock!
Decentralised, free, yours, Amsterdam covered in only 6 weeks. What more is there to know?
Free, decentralised, global, open, covered Amsterdam in 6 weeks and your are createing the network as you use it. What is not to like?

Does this provide a bare IP connection or is it just for MQTT channels back to your servers? I can't tell if that's "the" method of communication or just a helpful thing that you're offering.
Basically, is this something that I would be able to use directly with my company's CoAP APIs?
