Why The Things Network?The mission is to create a decentralized, technology independent IoT network which is owned and operated by its users.

● Your data is your data

● Encrypted end to end

● All data is treated equally

● Open source

● We are the network

A distributed network that supports all IoT connectivity

Ensuring that no single entity can dominate the IoT

A net neutral, distributed installed base of gateways, which are connected through a distributed data network is essential

● Transparency / Accountability

● Empowerment

● Ownership of solutions

● Open Data is a downstream economic multiplier

● Opportunities for local manufacturing and services industries
