LPWAN networks are low-power, long-range wireless systems, primarily designed to connect Internet of Things (IoT) devices to the network. In the agro-industrial sector, IoT is revolutionizing the industry through the implementation of advanced smart or precision agriculture techniques. One of the key technologies to achieve this goal is LoRa, together with the LoRaWAN network architecture, applied in traditional agricultural practices. This work analyzes the comparison of measurements made by nodes located at different heights in relation to a gateway, evaluating various propagation loss models, as well as specific models that consider excess vegetation. All this in a LoRaWAN-based infrastructure, within a rural environment dedicated to soybean cultivation.Downloads
