Method for determining network coverage and response to interference for an IoT LoRaWAN gateway - sensors system

Camnexus是剑桥大学的一家科技初创公司，为远程和工业运营中的商业客户开发端到端物联网(IoT)解决方案。我们的使命是通过低功耗物联网和基于云的实时自动异常检测系统，使水、食品和能源行业的企业能够实现其可持续发展目标。到目前为止，该公司已在四个不同的运营环境中部署了其物联网解决方案，包括地下排污室、露天采矿作业和农业温室。我们解决方案的创新之处在于将低功耗(LPWAN)技术与Camnexus开发了一个直观的基于云的实时数据处理、分析和可视化平台，用于监控和预测运营效率低下。Camnexus物联网解决方案由终端节点传感器设备、CamnexusLoRaWAN网关和服务器以及特定于客户的定制仪表板中的实时数据处理和可视化功能组成。网关和云之间的通信可以通过WiFi、光纤(以太网)或3G、4G或5G完成。康奈克斯最近参与了英国剑桥无线的第一个专用5G网络加速器，从而推出了新的产品和服务，即用于工业运营的专用LoRaWANIP68网关(Kubo(C))，除了光纤外，它还可以连接到3G、4G、5G和卫星。康奈克斯的传感器网络通信解决方案基于LoRa广域技术，该技术允许更大的区域覆盖和基础设施可扩展性，非常适合具有大量连接设备的工业应用。康奈克斯需要专业测试实验室的经验，而这在以前是成本高昂的。以确定通信的最大区域覆盖范围，以定义允许最大化数据传输(带宽规范)而不会使通信处于危险中的最佳范围。分析还将确定最佳距离，包括选择天线以确保通信质量。我们的目标是在这个项目中解决有关康奈克斯设备能力的干扰和衰减测量和分析问题。

Camnexus is a technology startup of the University of Cambridge that develops end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for business clients in remote and industrial operations. Our mission is to enable businesses operating in the water, food and energy sectors to achieve their sustainability targets with a low-power IoT and real-time cloud-based automatic anomaly detection systems. To date, the company has deployed its IoT solution in four different operational environments, including underground sewage chambers, open pit mining operations, and agriculture greenhouses.The innovative nature of our solution is based on the integration of low-power (LPWAN) technology with Camnexus development of an intuitive cloud-based real-time data processing, analysis and visualisation platform for monitoring and prediction of operational inefficiencies.The Camnexus IoT solution consists of end node sensor devices, the Camnexus LoRaWAN gateway and servers, and the real-time data processing and visualisation capability in client-specific customised dashboard. The communication between the gateway and the cloud can be done through WiFi, fibre optic (ethernet) or 3G, 4G or 5G. Recent participation of Camnexus in the first private 5G network accelerator of Cambridge Wireless, UK, resulted in the new product and service offering, a dedicated LoRaWAN IP68 gateway (KUBO(c)) for industrial operations, which can connect to 3G, 4G, 5G and satellite, in addition to fibre optic.Camnexus' solution of communication to the network of sensors is based on LoRaWAN technology, which allows larger area coverage and infrastructure scalability, ideal for industrial applications with a large number of connected devices.Camnexus requires the experience of a professional testing laboratory, which has been previously cost-prohibitive to Camnexus, in order to determine the maximum area coverage of communication to define the optimal range that allows maximising the data transfer (bandwidth specification) without putting the communication at risk. The analysis would also allow the definition of the optimal distance, including the selection of antennas to ensure the communication quality. We aim to address the interference and attenuation measurement and analysis issues regarding the capability of Camnexus equipment in this project.
