How to add LoRaWAN capabilities to smartphones, Raspberry Pi, and computers

Показать описание
A typical mobile phone does not come with a LoRaWAN module nor it can directly talk to one such network as its primary connection type is GSM. However, a mobile phone usually has an array of different sensors like GPS, accelerometer, barometer, and gyroscope as well as a camera that we can use in order to build a useful end node out of it.

The same is also true for a Raspberry Pi or a similar single-board computer that can have a ton of sensors but does not have direct access to The Things Network so it can't directly send data from the sensors over a long distance.

To solve this, in this video I'm demonstrating how we can use the LA66 USB LoRaWAN adapter in order to provide LoRaWAN connectivity to a mobile phone, computer, or any other embedded device with a USB port.

The adapter is manufactured by a company called Dragino and it is a very easy and fast way to add LoRaWAN support to any USB-enabled device. You can find more details about it on the link below:

The adapter comes with a companion Android app that can be used to send out the phone GPS data via LoRaWAN without any previous modifications and it serves as a great starting point in setting up the device properly in the LoRaWAN application.

The documentation for the module can be accessed below:
