Performance assessment of a Low-Power Wide-Area wireless network based on LoRa technology using IoT devices in different Bolivia areas

Abstract

This project focuses on the implementation and performance analysis of a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) using IoT devices in an urban environment. We develop an IoT Node and a Gateway designed to emulate the behavior of a LoRa network architecture. The technical parameters of these devices have been rigorously validated through extensive measurement campaigns and theoretical simulations using advanced radio propagation simulation software. The collected data and simulation results provide a comprehensive assessment of the LoRa technology’s performance, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability in the specified urban and rural context.
