Our project focuses on developing a device that enables people to communicate via LoRa. The inspiration for the project was to facilitate messaging in areas with limited or no access to conventional wireless communication networks. The idea is that due to the low power consumption of LoRa and its extensive range, emergency communication could still be ensured in challenging environments.
ESP 32 Slot
LoRa Modem:
Uses license-free ISM band frequency
~100mA peak during +20dBm transmit, ~30mA during active radio listening.
+5 to +20 dBm up to 100 mW Power Output Capability
Range of approx. 2Km, depending on obstructions, frequency, antenna and power output
USB-C Connection for I2C
Micro SD card slot
Our routing could have been a bit better, but it gets the job done.
Assemble pair of LoRa transceivers
Write drivers to use as external network adapters
Test in rural regions where device might be useful along with replication strategies to integrate it to such communities
