Zeche Friedrich-Heinrich: Kamp-Lintfort wide Open LoRaWAN deployed!
(Jan Sonntag, Shreya Gupta, Rolf Becker, 2023-06-28)
Kamp-Lintfort is now covered by the community-driven open LoRaWAN network of The Things Network (TTN)!
Anyone in the area can now deploy their own LoRaWAN devices and use the new gateways for free to transmit data to their own TTN applications. Our first application is the data collection of our own groundwater gauges developed with and for LINEG.
IoT Workshop with the Georg-Forster-Gymnasium
The workshop at our IoTLab focused on device-assisted automated environmental sensor technology. Participants worked with a low-cost minicomputer, configuring it to work with various sensors. The goal was to use the device to collect and wirelessly transmit observation data for later visualization, such as in the form of diagrams. The aim is to continue and further develop this project for use in a course project.
First tests at the Tambopata Flux Tower for the Andesflux-Network
As a project partner of the PUCP in particular the Institue for Nature, Earth and Energy led by Eric Cosio, we are working on supporting the build-up of an infrastructure to connect multiple eddy covariance towers located in the Amazon basin into one network and also develop and install LoRaWAN Hardware, which is used to gather information from the area surrounding the towers.
New technology in town
On 2 June 2022, the team of Earth Observation Lab, headed by Prof. Dr. R. Becker, visited the Zechenturm in Zechenpark, Kamp-Lintfort. Officials from LINEG were also present for the tour inside the tower as part of the lab’s plan to install LoRaWAN gateways in the tower for public and university use.
