Abstract
For many years, the enormous potential of the Internet of Things has been constrained by technical constraints, such as the short life span of battery-powered devices, short-range communications, high cost, and the lack of uniform standards. This article describes the technology, called LoRaWAN (Long Range wide-area networks), which allowed to overcome all these obstacles. Based on the new specification and new protocol for LPWAN, LoRaWAN technology allowed connecting sensors over long distances, while offering optimal sensor battery life and minimum infrastructure requirements. The LoRaWAN technology has a significant potential for use for oil production facilities in order to reduce unproductive time and speed up technological processes.
