3. Gateways
4. 1. LORIX One – Industry-grade gateway § Cost ~ $600
5. 1. LORIX One – Hosted by Erdemnet § 24/7 reliability § Production purposes § Relatively elevated position § Packets received from Zaisan Hill ◦ Green: gateway position ◦ Orange: transmitted position
6. 2. DIY LoRa gateway § Host controller: Raspberry Pi B+ ( ~ $20) § LoRa concentrator: iMST-iC880A-SPI (~ $150) § Complies TTN gateway requirements ◦ Multi-channel § Single channel LoRaWAN gateway? ◦ Several projects available ◦ Not supported by TTN
7. 2. DIY Gateway – Hosted by SICT § Experiment purposes § Targeting students § Less range and less reliable than LORIX One
8. DIY LoRa device § For initiating LoRa among makers § Hardware: ◦ ATMega328 (~ $2) ◦ SX1275 (~ $5) § Firmware: ◦ https://github.com/ttn- mongolia/arduino-lmic § Transmitted data ◦ ATMega on-board sensors ◦ Voltage ◦ Temperature
9. Industrial CO2 sensors § 2 sensor nodes deployed for demonstrating LoRa nodes § Next to each gateway § http://demo.decentlab.com
10. Applications: discussion § Common applications ◦ Car parking ◦ Air quality ◦ Flood meter ◦ Agriculture sensing § Possible applications in Mongolia ◦ Horse race tracking ◦ Livestock tracking ◦ Apartment door lock/ring (Home automation) ◦ Car automation
11. Extra: LoRaWAN cell capacity (http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1550147717699412)
12. Extra: LoRaWAN network density (http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1550147717699412)
