GPS-BASED LOCALIZATION SYSTEM USING LORA TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

LoRa is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technology which has been used widely in recent years. LoRa transmits data with low bitrate, however, it supports a long-range transmission and has a low power consumption. Therefore, this technology is suitable for Internet of Things’ applications such as smart cities, precision agriculture, localizing and tracking, etc.
In this paper, we build a GPS-based localization system using LoRa technology to transmit the coordinations of the objects to LoRa gateway. The gateway then forwards the data to the network server. We also build a mobile application that can access the data from the network server and display the locations of the tracked object on a map. The system can be used to track humans or properties.
