LoRa Cloud-based platform for Internet of Things Applications

Long-range radio technologies can ensure Low Power Wide Area Network deployment at a very low-cost intended for a huge range of Internet of Things applications. Recently, there are some attempts to implement Long-range cloud connection in this field. Nevertheless, several issues must be considered when setting up Long-range Internet of Things solutions. The paper proposes a novel solution based on Long-range Cloud implementation on The Things Network platform for the Water Pipeline monitoring application. This solution helps the researchers in terms of preparing their test-bed environment. For validation purposes, an experimental Long-range Cloud system has been established by the means of low-power and low-cost electronics using accessible open sources to deploy Long-range nodes, Long-range gateway, and The Things Network. The system proves its efficiency through its harmonic and synchronized operation mode.
