The representative technology of the WWAN wireless communication network used in the Internet of Things is LoRa communication technology, and LoRa communication uses the ISM band. The 920 MHz (920.9 MHz~923.3 MHz) band frequency, which is used as a domestic LoRa frequency, had a problem in performing LoRa network practice in the curriculum using a commercially available LoRa modules that have been used in Europe and the United States because of different frequency band, but a RYLR896 LoRa module was developed that allowed RF frequency to be programmed. With this module, this paper confirmed that the frequency can be set at a specified frequency in Korea using AT commands. In addition, using these RYLR896 LoRa modules, a LoRa network consisting of end nodes and gateways was constructed and practiced to confirm that development equipment capable of practicing the RYLR896 LoRa module and IoT was operating normally.

This paper proposes the application of LoRa network, which has been under various research recently, to use control system for the transfer of Unmanned Vehicle. LoRa( Long Range) has a wide coverage of up to30 km, and is characterized by large-scale low-power long-distance radio communication. LoRa has already been studied in various industries. It is also proposed to study various functions by utilizing LoRa network and applying it to the control system of the uninhabited entity.

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.

Due to evolving IoT technologies, the various application services using clothing, sport equipment, and wearable devices equipped with extream small communication devices have been actively developed. On the other hands, since these serveices requires long distance communications, Long Distance wireless communication technology LPWAN Research has been proceeded due to limitation of the commuication distance of Wi-Fi and Zigbee which were considered as representative technologies for IoT. Iin this paper, we introduces LoRa technology in detail, which is a non-band network technology among LPWAN technologies, and investigates the use cases of domestic as well as international countries.

In this paper, we propose a LoRa communication module using the LoRa RF module of Murata Electronics is designed to configure the IoT digital meter remote meter reading and a method of configuring a remote meter reading network by collecting multiple meter data in a DCU (Data Concentrate Unit) to configure a network with LoRaWAN. The developed system can be installed more easily and economically in the network configuration than the existing system by allowing the meter to be directly connected to the network or matched with a DCU to connect to the network according to the configuration of the consumer. The developed system was constructed using a digital water meter as an example, but it can also be applied to remote meter reading of the metered values of other meters such as electricity, water, gas, hot water and calorie meters. The main development contents are the design, configuration, and construction of digital meters, LoRa modules and DCUs, and how to connect the LoRaWAN network and transmit meter data to the server. By networking these devices, the system is configured, and the actual LoRaWAN communication is tested and the result is shown.

LoRa (Long Range) is a long-distance, low-power communication technology. Broader range of communication than NFC technology allows communication without having to install multiple APs and reduces the cost of initial infrastructure deployment. MQTT (Message, Queuing, Telemetry, Transport) protocol is also low power and lightweight protocols. It can increase module persistence and reduce maintenance costs when used with LoRa. In this paper, we developed a system for compiling various environmental information in a factory using LoRa and MQTT. Environmental sensor data from long distances can be monitored by the management system and the facilities in each workshop can be controlled. Performance tests have also shown that the use of LoRa and MQTT is effective in terms of long-distance and power consumption.

The rapid growth of IoT (Internet of Things) owing to the advancement and spread of technologies such as wireless networks, communication modules, sensors, smart terminals, etc. enables the development of new services in diverse public and private sectors. In particular, research on IoT technology and its applications has increased in the field of science. To establish an IoT infrastructure in this field, KREONET launched the wireless IoT network, called ScienceLoRa, based on low power wide area network (LPWAN). ScienceLoRa aims to collect a variety of data from sensors and utilize and analyze the collected data for research in a variety of scientific fields. In this article, the authors present the concept, current status, applications and future plans of ScienceLoRa.
