Building LoRa (Long Range low-power Wide-area network) wireless communication network infrastructure to create IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) for smart education and smart cities is one of the key topics of research collaboration and test transfer. Cote d'Azur University in France, in collaboration with the Danang International Institute of Technology DNIIT, initially installed the LoRa network coverage system in the "Smart Campus" and "Smart City" for the University of Science and Technology - University of Danang and the entire of Da Nang. The initiatives are investigated, produced, and evaluated using an education and research ecosystem model that includes universities, strategic industrial partners, Danang local administration, and state management ministries.
