Methodology for the dimensioning and development of an urban LoRaWAN network

As the world of information and communication technologies is evolving, we are looking to connect everything around us. One way to achieve this is through the Internet of Things (IoT) where mainly its function is to reach the intercommunication of our environment through devices that collect the information needed to be delivered by users. One way to implement this network is by using the Low Power Wireless Area Network (LP-WAN) technologies that enable communication of devices using low data rates and low power consumption. Consequently, the LoRa-WAN technology is chosen to study, belonging to the LP-WAN group, because lately, it is taking great eld of application and development in IoT. Therefore, the objective of the thesis is the use of LoRa as a technology to design for the city of Torino, a city in which constantly seeks the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and fi nally show a possible fi nal design of the IoT network.
