Abstract
Internet of Things(IoT) is a communication technology that collects information of object remotely and controls the function of object by adding a communication function to object that does not have a communication function. For the IoT, various communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, 3GPP, and Bluetooth are available, and Long Range(LoRa) is communication technologies specialized in the IoT concept. LoRa is a communication technology that support long-distance, low-power, and low-speed communication, and is suitable for collecting information generated form object in remote equipment and controlling equipment. Because of these characteristics, it is used in many application field, and various performance improvement studies are in progress. This paper intends to propose an ultra-long-range LoRa communication module that can be used in a wider range of applications. We design and implement hardware, firmware, and application software for testing to develop ultra-long-range LoRa communication modules. The implemented module will be tested in a real environment to verify its performance and to check its utilization.
