Demo Abstract: PlanIt and DQ-N for Low-Power Wide-Area Networks

Low-Power Wide-Area networks promise to deliver limited IoT payloads reliably at distances in excess of 10 km raising the possibility of thousands of IoT devices connected to a single base station. PlanIt is a web application able to visualize connectivity in these large-scale deployments prior to deploying hardware or even making a single signal-strength measurement. DQ-N is an adaptation of distributed queuing, a hybrid MAC protocol, compatible with current LoRa packet radios that significantly increases the number of nodes that can be supported from a signal base station. This demo will allow users to visualize LoRa coverage for the entire USA and demonstrate DQ-N using several sensor nodes.
