Abstract

In this paper, I present a LoRa spread spectrum networking device that provides significant efficiency improvements over previously used techniques through digital techniques. Subsequently, the LoRaWAN network is presented, which can communicate with the network server available on the Internet through gateways. Their data rate and transmission power can be optimised depending on the distance from the base stations and the time required for communication can be measured in tens of seconds.

In the second major part of the article, Internet of Things devices that also communicate with each other using the LoRa network will be presented. It allows smart devices used in our everyday life to communicate, which are supported by sensors and transmitters to record states and perform actions.

IoT devices are also becoming increasingly common in agriculture. Farmers who are already using the technology can better monitor their livestock and crops. IoT can also be used effectively in many areas of agriculture, including dairy, vegetable, fruit and greenhouse operations.
