μPnP-WAN: Experiences with LoRa and its deployment in DR Congo
The Internet of Things (IoT) is being applied in a wide variety of applications, which demand a range of networking support. This includes wide area communication networks. Novel long range network technologies such as LoRa and Sigfox are emerging, but they remain difficult to deploy and configure for end-users who are not specialists in embedded systems. This paper addresses this problem by introducing μPnP-WAN, which combines the ease of use of the μPnP peripheral system, with the long range LoRa network to realise the first true plug-and-play solution for long-range sensing and actuation. Our evaluation shows that μPnP-WAN can achieve a range of up to 3.5 kilometers in ad-hoc suburban deployments and multi-year battery lifetime. Furthermore, our deployment of μPnP-WAN device in DR Congo to monitor the temperature of blood fridges shows the effectiveness of μPnP-WAN device in real-world application scenarios.
