The LoRaWAN specification is a Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect ‘things’ to the Internet and targets key Internet of Things (IoT) requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility, and localization services. It wirelessly connects devices to the internet and manages communication between end-node devices and network gateways. An …
The advancement in technology has entered into the world of farming and poultry. A smart poultry farm consists of three major components: poultry house, poultry feeder, and smart feeder. The feeder will be able to dispense the required amount of feed at the desired time to the poultry birds, and it is also capable of …
One popular LoRaWAN gateway we have used is the Dragino LPS8 LoRaWAN gateway. LoRaWAN gateway has the primary purpose of bridging between LoRa and the internet. LPS8 supports both Wi-Fi and ethernet. The data from LoRa end nodes can be picked up by the gateway antenna and with the help of the concentrator and packet …
The Helium Network is a decentralised wireless network using the LoRaWAN system, powered by Helium Blockchain. By deploying a hotspot in your home or office, you can provide your city with miles of low-power network coverage and earn a new cryptocurrency, HNT(Helium Network Token) . It has become the fastest growing network with more than …
Aquaponics is a combination of Aquaculture, which is farming of fish and other aquatic animals, and Hydroponics which is growing plants without soil. Aquaponics is a synergy between plants and aquatic ecosystem. It uses these two in a symbiotic combination such that plants are fed the aquatic animals’ discharge or waste. How does it work? …
LoRaWAN is a popular technology for trackers due to its low power consumption and long-range capabilities. Trackers are used in multiple applications like: Pet tracking Fleet tracking People tracking Shipment tracking and more. They are also available in multiple form-factors ideal for different use-cases. We have implemented different types of trackers as detailed below: 1. …
LoRa (short for long range) is a spread spectrum modulation technique derived from chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technology. This wireless technology is characterised by low power and long range allowing users to deploy into remote areas with low maintenance. Since its long range, there is no need of installing gateways back to back – one …
Data logging is the process of collecting and storing data over a period of time in different systems or environments, regardless of the method used. It involves tracking a variety of events and interactions through which data, files or applications are stored, accessed or modified on a storage device. Data logging is generally associated with …
