Building and Automating Your Own LoRaWAN Network

Raymond Hendrix and Troy Martin

TLDR 

All students will go home with a LoRaWAN gateway, smart button, smart power socket, and application infrastructure to support MQTT, and data visualization allowing you to further expand your LoRaWAN research and experience. 

/TLDR 

LoRaWAN 

LoRaWAN is a wireless communication protocol designed for low-power, long-range, and low-bandwidth Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It uses a spread-spectrum radio frequency technique to enable devices to communicate over long distances with minimal power consumption.  In simple terms, LoRaWAN allows IoT devices to send and receive data over long distances using little power, which makes it well-suited for applications such as remote environmental monitoring, smart city infrastructure, and supply chain management. 

Troy Martin and Raymond Hendrix will take you on a hands-on journey to explore and experiment with LoRaWAN technologies. You will learn about tools and techniques enabling you to design and deploy a LoRaWAN Network. During this bootcamp, you will setup your own gateway, connect your own sensor(s), and build backend systems to process and automate the data.
