LoRaWAN Solutions in the COVID-19 Aspect

[摘要] The rapid growth in the number of solutions using the Internet of Things (IoT) technologiesis not new. The number of products using LoRaWAN technology is also growing.The spread of COVID-19 has, among other things, led to the evolution of IoT devicesrelated to virus control. Several LoRaWAN products related to COVID-19 are beingdeveloped. LoRaWAN COVID-19 solutions are mainly grouped around the followingtopics: contact tracing/proximity detection, health equipment or device data transmission,and signalling/calling systems. Contact tracing has a crucial role in healthcare institutions,government agencies, and vital factories and among these institutions' workers.In the case of a medical device, data transmission simplifies administration, reducesthe volume of contact, and allows contactless monitoring. In critical situations, healthcareinstitutions need to create temporary nursing areas. Mobile signalling or call systemsmay be required in these areas. The research examines LoRaWAN COVID-19 solutionsand their relationship to critical infrastructures.
