You're In Business

Onnecto is a legitimate joint venture between Stadtwerke Osnabrück and Landkreis Osnabrück, providing valuable LoRaWAN and IoT infrastructure for the region. However, the project submission itself is of very low quality, containing vague technical details ('Internet') and hyperbolic traction claims ('most people have used my product') that likely refer to indirect utility usage rather than direct app engagement. While the real-world utility of municipal digitization is high, the project's reach is strictly regional, and the submission fails to accurately reflect its actual B2G/B2B nature.
