Abstract
Recently, there have been many studies on the IoT environment in which the sensors attached to the equipment automatically transmit and process the site information in real time through the network to control the equipment. The core of such a system is a network for data transmission and reception, and a wired network with wide transmission distance is a priority. However, in the case of a wired network, there is a problem that the time and cost consumed to configure the communication is higher than that of the wireless. In this paper, we propose LPWA - based wireless data transmission system using LPWA and BLE communication to solve this problem. The proposed system collects data from equipment through BLE and transmits data to the server using LPWA. Experimental results show that the spreading factor of maximum length of LPWA is 8, and the minimum length is 9.
