Abstract

The development of IoT applications is lightning fast in terms of technology and solutions in all areas of life. This brings opportunities and challenges wireless sensor network which requires low-power and long-range devices. LoRa technology is a new wireless communication standard designed to address these challenges. The industrial LoRaWAN protocol shows its ability for long-range data transmission, long autonomy, and high scalability. In this paper, we propose to experiment with a LoRaWAN network for IoT applications in Danang City area. Evaluation of LoRa coverage in real-life measurement shows an average communication range of 6 km with a maximum distance of 26 km.
