Realizing IIoT wireless sensor with edge gateway and Openvino AI development

In industrial IoT applications, wireless sensors are of utmost importance to break away from the conventional wiring method of acquiring data and to facilitate data collection in remote areas that are not easy to reach. In this live session, we introduce one of the non-conventional ways of connecting remote sensors using the Lora wireless transceiver, where in this case it acts as a transparent wireless link between the IIoT edge gateway and remote sensors.

As Lora's frequency band is 864 to 922.5MHz, its penetration is much better than 2.4GHz / 5.8GHz, where with low power radio it is able to reach up to 1.5km with a line of sight. For that, it is good enough to cover most indoor or outdoor applications with not-so-far distance but with some obstruction — for example, across a factory floor or between buildings on a plant site.
