The project deploys an IoT system at RMFR, which aims to complement the manual peatland data collection. The IoT system consists of sensor nodes on the ground to detect groundwater level (GWL), soil moisture and soil temperature. These peatland data is relayed to the Gateway using LoRa technology. It is a free wireless access technology as per regulation by MCMC, hence it is cost-effective. The transmission parameters can be configured in order to ensure coverage and link quality. In other words, the peatland data can be transmitted on a timely basis and can be covered in a large area in the peatland. The aim of the project is to implement technological and social innovation for peatland monitoring using IoT. The technological innovation includes IoT system deployment at Raja Musa Forest Reserve (RMFR) for peatland monitoring in order to curb potential forest fires and transboundary haze. Social innovation, on the other hand, is to get feedback and input from the stakeholders and local community, right from the design stage until the implementation and monitoring of the system. The project has helped the Forestry Department to monitor and validate peatland data. especially groundwater level (GWL), more efficiently, by complementing the existing manual collection procedures with the deployed IoT system from this project. The IoT system collects the peatland data once every 10minutes, and effective and efficient peatland forest monitoring and management can be implemented
