An efficient LoRa-based smart agriculture management and monitoring system using wireless sensor networks

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to build up a LoRa-based smart agricultural management and monitoring system using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in rural areas, in order to replace the current technology of the agricultural monitoring system. A private network server is created and interfaced with a gateway that collects data or signals from end nodes and transmits the data to the cloud without the use of routers. The data can be used for end user application. The network interface is fulfilled by LoRa by solving communication failure problems and energy saving data transmission. This intelligent agriculture platform improves the efficiency of agricultural techniques.
