Abstract

We designed and deployed a networking monitoring tool based on LoRaWAN for a campus network in Benin. Using affordable LoRaWAN devices and by placing the server in our network, we have been able to measure and to analyze network coverage and failures in real-time. We can receive SMS alerts when a WiFi access point does not work correctly. It is then an affordable and scalable solution for Campus networks with an unreliable cable network.
