Implementation of IoT System for Securing Telecommunications Infrastructure Based on LoRaWAN Operator’s Network

Abstract

This paper considers a practical IoT (Internet of Things) solution implemented in a LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) network of the Serbian telecommunications operator Telekom Srbija. The IoT solution was developed to secure the operator’s infrastructure located in manholes and prevent stealing. The paper presents methods and techniques, which telecommunications operator has used to incorporate LoRaWAN technology into the existing IP/MPLS (Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching) network. The results of this technology implementation are shown and significance of it is pointed out.
