Abstract
In our world more connected than ever before, it is becoming increasingly easier and cheaper to collect data not just from smartphones, but almost every item in our daily life. This is where the Internet of Things comes into place. Among the emergent technologies to lead this revolution, LoRa is on the forefront of the market. The aim of this thesis is twofold: to explain both the main theoretical and practical aspects to take into account in the deployment of a LoRa network, and to evaluate its performance in Louvain-la-Neuve. Throughout the experiments, it was found that its performance (up to 5km in urban environment) could sometimes be exaggerated and was heavily dependant on multiple factors such as topography or obstruction of sight. Still, LoRa provides impressive results when it comes to receiving sensibility or resilience to interference, and could be promising for future applications.
