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

LoRa is an increasingly widespread radio standard which, similar to WiFi, allows digital data transmission in an IP network, but offers significantly different features. The TheThingsNetwork offers in Germany a very good coverage with ~2000 gateways in international comparison.
