Abstract

Internet of Things(IoT) technology can remotely collect and control a sensing information of device by attaching a small communication device to equipment that does not support communication. Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN), a low-power, long-distance communication technology, was proposed to support IoT technology, and Long Range(LoRa) is representative. Various systems, including network device, can collect and control the status information of device in real time through remote access. However, when a network failure occurs, remote access and status monitoring are impossible unless there is a separate additional network. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we propose an independent remote device management system that can be easily attached to device, which monitors and controls equipment remotely using an independent network. We will design and implement the proposed system, via which we will show its practicality and expandability.

사물인터넷 기술은 통신을 지원하지 않는 장비에 소형 통신 장치를 부착하여 장비의 정보를 원격에서 수집, 제어할 수 있다. 사물인터넷 기술을 지원하기 위해서 저전력, 장거리 통신 기술인 LPWAN이 제안되었고 대표적으로 LoRa가 있다. 네트워크 장비를 포함한 다양한 시스템들은 원격 접속을 통해 장비의 상태를 실시간 모니터링 할 수 있다. 그러나 네트워크 장애가 발생하면 원격 접속 및 상태 모니터링은 별도의 부가 네트워크가 있지 않은 한 불가능하다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 장비에 쉽게 부착할 수 있고 독립적인 네트워크를 이용해 원격에서 장비를 모니터링 및 제어하는 독립형 원격 장비 관리시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템을 설계 및 구현하여 실용성을 보이겠다.
