Resumen
The rising tide of the internet of things (IoT) has highlighted many low-power, long-range and low-speed wireless network technologies. The current work deals with the implementation of a hybrid IoT solution tailored for agriculture, taking advantage of the benefits of two LPWAN technologies: LoRa and Sigfox. The communication between the nodes (sensors) occurs through LoRa technology, and the collected data is transmitted to an information cloud via Sigfox technology. The final data is stored and processed in Amazon Web Service (AWS), providing end-user worldwide access and control. A data protection protocol has been implemented to prevent unauthorized access, deciphering, and interference with sensor communication. This security system enhances the robustness and the reliability of the system, further augmented by the integration of an energy harvesting system powered by solar energy. The proposed system is deployed and tested in a greenhouse owned by UPC, in Parc Agròpolis.
