Cosponsored by TEP—Our Largest IoT Hackathon Ever! Featuring a LoRaWAN Environment Along the Entire TX Railway Area
Event Details

Objectives
A wireless environment will be built along the Tsukuba Express (TX) railway area between Hongo (Tokyo) and Tsukuba (centered around the Kashiwanoha-campus area) using the global and open wireless standard for IoT called "LoRaWAN," to hold our largest IoT hackathon in history. The area will be promoted as one large field for developing and testing IoT applications. The hackathon aims that participants' proposals will be assessed by companies on the panel and implemented with an eye toward actual service commercialization that goes beyond the proof of concept phase.
