Abstract

A performance evaluation of the physical layer of the long-range (LoRa) technology is presented in this paper. An experimental setup with off-the-shelf LoRa wide area network (LoRaWAN) devices were prepared to demonstrate the feasibility of this technology. Feasible communication between a central oilproducing process used to monitor several oil wells, located in a rural area, was achieved at distances up to approx\approxapprox2.7 km, according to measurements of the average received signal indicators around -100dBm for an average SNR approx\approxapprox5.6dB. It is possible to conclude from the experimental results that LoRaWAN is a suitable long-range and low power wide area network for smart monitoring in oil Industries.
