Design of Air Quality Analysis Monitoring Using LoRaMOTE Developing Module

Recent research on LoRa Technology which provide the low power and long range over 20km have been very attractive. LoRa Technology is one of the most developing technology in modern communication link. The overall LoRa network comprises of the gateways, network servers and end nodes. The LoRa network that can be used for either star or mesh topology. The gateways are called as base station or concentrators and end devices are also called as motes in LoRa. LoRaWAN is a protocol specication which is only top of LoRa technology. It uses unlicensed radio spectrum in ISM band. However, the feasibility of LoraWAN for smart city application need to be investigated. Now a day air pollution is a major problem in every cities. Air pollution is not only an environmental problem but also a social problem. This paper provides the analysis of LoRaMOTE and developing module for air quality monitoring. The old method of monitoring air quality is time consuming, low precision and costly. Therefore, there is a need for continuous monitoring of air quality parameters in real time. Air quality parameters are measured by different sensors such as pH, humidity, temperature, PM sensor. The device has been tested in the city and the measurement was compared with the output of the pollution control authority stations.
