Desenvolvimento de interface de usuário API embarcada para avaliação de desempenho de transceiver RF com Tecnologia LoRa TM.

Abstract

The Internet was one the most relevant inventions of the century. What, at first, was restricted to the task of connecting the computers of a few, nowadays is a global network that interconnects billions of people and can be considered an intrinsic part of life in society. Beyond the fact that it became more accessible, the very concept of internet has been extended. The network which connected only computers, now connects cellphones, tablets, watches. In between the conceptual extension of what is internet, emerged the Internet of Things (IoT) that proposed to interconnect things, whatever they are watches or vending machines. Given the dimension these networks may take, it is quite important to give some thought about the network that will indeed connect these devices. Regarding wireless cases, the radiofrequency (RF) networks seem really viable options. In the context of this work, some tools are going to be developed, such as user interfaces and embedded systems, to make use and evaluate a wireless network using the LoRaTM technology, from Semtech Corporation, in IoT applications.
