LoRa-Bee

It is possible to upload sensor data to the openSenseMap via LoRaWAN™ through TheThingsNetwork(TTN).

LoRa is an increasingly widespread wireless standard which, like WiFi, allows digital data transmission in an IP network, but offers significantly different features. TheThingsNetwork offers very good coverage in Germany compared to other countries, with ~2000 gateways.
