| Objectives | Purchase off-the-shelf IoT monitoring equipment and install the items across Isle of Skye. Investigate how to connect the new IoT onto the existing SSEN LoRa Network and explore how the real-time field data is accessible. The existing SSEN LoRa Network will be used. The IoT monitoring equipment will measure parameters which influence the electrical network. The IoT monitoring equipment will be placed at locations that will also help further knowledge capture on the ability of the existing LoRa Network. To prove the assumption that LoRa enabled IoT monitoring equipment can be; purchased for less than 50 per unit is easily installed onto a LoRa NetworkReal-time field data can be readily accessible | |
| Abstract | SSEN RainMan Project was the first UK real-time field monitoring system installed with a Low Power Wide Area Network communication medium (referred to here as LoRa). The LoRa network gathers real-time information from monitoring equipment using an Internet of Things (IoT) platform to collect data. The SSEN RainMan Project specifically developed pole movement detection IoT, to monitor the status of the wooden poles across the Isle of Skye. | |
