The IoT Swings at the Things Conference
What you’ll learn:
- What is the Things Conference?
- What is the Things Network and how does it address the IoT community?
The Things Conference 2024 is an event about LoRaWAN that specifically addresses low-power IoT applications, bringing together over 1,500 IoT professionals, 70 or more leading industry players, and close to 100 expert speakers. It also features around two dozen workshops, where attendees can learn about the latest developments in the LPWAN marketplace.
The event gathers the players in the LoRaWAN ecosystem to learn about the latest developments in the IoT industry from both builders and buyers. One attraction is the hands-on Wall of Fame, which features products from over 100 partners, letting people touch, feel, and interact with hundreds of LoRaWAN-enabled devices and gateways.
The Things Network provides a set of open tools as well as a worldwide network to build ready-to-scale IoT application solutions cost-effectively, with maximum security. It leverages the Things Stack, a LoRaWAN Network Server that securely manages applications, end devices, and gateways. The Things Stack uses the LoRaWAN network protocol using LoRa modulation for long-range, low-power, and secure performance ideal for telemetry use cases.
The Things Network is an open community of people, companies, governments, and universities that are learning, experimenting, and building with The Things Stack to create LoRaWAN-based IoT solutions.
