Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) are a set of technologies that are growing in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). Due to their long range capabilities and low energy consumption, LPWAN are the ideal technologies to send small data occasionally. With their unique characteristics, LPWANs can be used in many applications and in different environments such as urban, rural and even indoor. The integration of one of the LPWAN technologies, Long Range (LoRa), in a multi-technology data gathering platform is the key objective of this work. This objective is addressed with the following proposed approaches: (1) an organization based in clusters of sensor nodes; (2) a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol that provides reliable communications through LoRa technology; and finally, (3) a connection manager that selects which wireless technologies should be used simultaneously to forward the sensing data, according to its classification. The evaluation experiments aim to understand which type of parameters can influence the performance of the overall proposed solution, as well as the advantages of a multi-technology approach in a data gathering platform. The results in a real scenario show that the proposed approach is able to achieve simultaneous multi-technology communication while delivering different types of data with reliability and low latency.
