Diseño de una red LPWAN en la Unidad Educativa Don Bosco la Tola

Abstract

This technical project details the design of an LPWAN network in the Don Bosco La Tola Educational Unit, due to the lack of an efficient security system. Currently there are different systems that allow to reinforce the security of any site, but being robust has a high implementation cost, which when implementing them in the different blocks of the Educational Institution would be complicated, also it does not have a system that allows to strengthen and automate the control of a fire subsystem. The LPWAN network is simulated by means of a low consumption wide area network prototype using Lora technology, due to the reduced cost it offers, connections over long distances and great robustness against interference, to improve the coverage of the security system in areas without network infrastructure, which will be made up of an intelligent network of sensors for monitoring the physical and environmental variables of the facilities. These data are acquired by the MQ-2 and DTH-22 sensors and then sent through the Lora technology integrated ESP32 boards to the HT-00 Gateway and then managed by the TTN server through the LoraWAN communication protocol, management and monitoring of the data is made through the link with the Datacake web platform.
