Documentation for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs in Internet of Things (IoT) are using technology in innovative ways to solve problems for enterprises and consumers. CTOs and technical leads need to carefully select wireless networks for their products, and would do well to give The Things Network a hard look.
The Things Network (TTN) offers an ultra low-power, long-range, ISM-band wireless solution for IoT products. By choosing TTN as your product's wireless network, you leverage the development efforts of engineering world-wide who have contributed to the design and implementation of The Things Network firmware and software backend. You can save countless development cycles by deploying gateways on the TTN standard, and you gain redundancy in your network by interoperating with existing community gateways.
As an entrepreneur, you should consider a few things:
- Use our Application Worksheet to see if TTN could work for your product.
- To keep up-to-date, join the TTN NYC Meetup Group or a group in your area.
- Leverage our reference implementations to jump-start your development.
- Tweet about your IoT project to @thethingsnyc.
- Contact Terry (terry@thethings.nyc) to discuss partnership opportunities.
