Project: Lora Gateway and Nodes
Project Brief:
LoRa Gateway and LoRa Node concept is very effective in remote location where Network is primary concern and helps reducing the product cost by removing GSM module in Nodes.
Lora Nodes collects the data from different sensors and sends data to Gateway over LoRa module, The LoRa Gateway connects to cloud platform with GSM and sends the data over MQTT.
Key challenges & Learnings
- Understanding Lora Technology.
- Addressing Lora Modules which don’t provide MAC.
- Downloading Node firmware over air (OTA) in Gateway and delivery of packets to Lora Node without corruption.
- Command handling and response form Node.
Project: WiFi Gateway and GSM Gateway
Project Brief:
WiFi Gateway is designed with an intent communicate data to cloud using available WiFi present in the vicinity and GSM Gateway is used in remote locations.
