New Hybrid IoT LoRaWAN/IRC Sensors: SMART Water Metering System

The massive development of internet things (IoT) technologies is gaining momentum across all areas their possible deployment—spanning from Industry 4.0 to eHealth, smart city, agriculture or waste management. This ongoing further pushed forward by the gradual deployment 5G networks. With capable devices, it will be transfer more data with shorter latency thereby resulting in exciting new use cases such as Massive IoT. Massive-IoT (low-power wide area network-LPWAN) enables improved network coverage, long device operational lifetime and a high density connections. Despite advantages massive-IoT technology, there are certain where original concept cannot used. Among them dangerous explosive environments issues caused subsurface (operation during winter months dense greenery). article presents hybrid solution IoT LoRaWAN (long range network)/IRC-VLC (infrared communication, visible light communication) which combines both according scenario.
