LoRa Network-Based System for Remote Monitoring of Agricultural Crops

Abstract

Smart agriculture is one of the fastest growing fields of Internet of Things. In its essence, it represents measurement of indicators from the agricultural field and their transmission to a centralized server, then a decision can be made to perform a certain automated action based on the received values. In order to measure these parameters, it is necessary for the systems located in the field to be equipped with the required sensors. In order to transmit data from the various agricultural areas to the remote servers, an appropriate network protocol and transmission medium should be selected. For the further processing of the data and the creation of a web-based system for monitoring of the transmitted parameters, a suitable programming environment should be used for data processing. This report describes the development of a comprehensive system for remote monitoring of agricultural crops.
