Implementing a Wide Area Network and Low Power Solution Using LoRaWAN

In recent decades, technology has undergone significant transformations, aimed at optimizing and enhancing the quality of human life. A prime example of this progress is the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Today, IoT is widely applied across diverse sectors, including logistics, communications, agriculture, education, and infrastructure, demonstrating its versatility and profound relevance in various domains. Agriculture has historically been a fundamental sector for meeting humanity's basic needs, and it is indispensable for survival and development. Despite the remarkable technological advances of the modern era, challenges in this sector persist, and the desired levels of raw material production are not always achieved. A critical factor in this regard is climatic and meteorological conditions directly influencing agricultural productivity. Therefore, real-time monitoring and analysis of these variables become imperative for optimizing production and reducing vulnerability to climate change. In this paper, a system based on the LoRa modulation technique and the LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) protocol has been developed, which is applicable to wide area networks and requires low power consumption, for example for agricultural applications.
