Abstract:
The growing interest in Internet of Things (IoT) has facilitated the appearance of applications which use Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). Networks based on the Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) standard highlight among these. This paper presents a wide overview of this recent technology and some practical experiments. The developed LoRaWAN devices that compose the network as well as the server used to collect data are presented. Based on this testbed, some experiments are performed in two different scenarios to check the performance in terms of coverage, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). Results show that LoRaWAN networks can be a useful solution to implement monitoring networks.
