[Osmf-talk] OSM & LoRa LPWAN

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

Perhaps, they need data exchange for bike renting, something like 
https://mobike.com/global/ or for security. An e-bike may cost quite a lot.

I used Mobike in a city in Germany while on holiday. It informs the 
central server where it is parked, if it is serviceable, if it is broken 
what is broken, etc.

What is a bit frustrating about Mobike is that one can park it only in a 
certain area at city center.

Best regards,
O.
