4. December – MINT’special: Open Network Lab

After the great success of our new after-work event format “MINT’talks,” we are pleased to announce a special year-end MINT event. Together with the TTN Group Bern, we invite you to an Open Network Lab with Oleg Lavrovsky. Learn how to integrate a LoRaWAN sensor into your daily life and put your knowledge into practice by assembling your own sensor.

The Things Network (TTN): This is an open network based on LoRa wireless technology for transmitting sensor data. LoRaWAN is known for its long-range capabilities of up to several kilometers, good building penetration, low power consumption, and license-free usage.

Open Network Lab: The Open Network Lab provides an opportunity for IoT enthusiasts who want to build, program, and operate their own LoRaWAN sensor connected via TTN, and visualize its sensor data on a dashboard. With expert guidance and support, participants will be able to create such a sensor. The fully functional sensor can be used at home or in the office and could also make a great idea for a Christmas gift. Further details
