PIPELINE FOR QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF DATA TRANSMISSION FROM IOT NETWORKS-LORAWAN IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT

This research endeavor has dual objectives: firstly, it involves the collection of environmental data, including air quality measurements, and secondly, it evaluates the efficiency of LoRaWAN sensor-based solutions in transmitting data over long distances across open seas and outdoor environments. This initiative aligns with the deployment of a LoRaWAN infrastructure, jointly developed by the same collaborating partners, at the CNR headquarters in Genova towards the conclusion of the summer. This initial setup included one gateway and one air quality monitoring station. The subsequent phase, which is already in the planning stages, encompasses the establishment of a second LoRaWAN-based air quality monitoring station at the CNR pier within the city's harbor area. The primary objective is to gather environmental data and assess the performance of the employed sensing and communication technologies. For at least a decade, Gruppo SIGLA and CNR-IAS have maintained a collaborative partnership, actively engaging in various initiatives aimed at incorporating cutting-edge IT features for the monitoring of maritime regions and vital environmental factors in this domain. Their recent involvement in projects funded by the Liguria Region, namely PICKUP and TIAMO, underscores their ongoing commitment to advancing these endeavors.
