for TNB Janaelektrik Upper Piah Station Prepared by, Challenges TNB is having issues with the regards of its sensor and communication at its Sungai Upper Piah Janaelektrik Station • Signals transmitted and received but data is unreadable • Radio equipment/modem at tower malfunction • Cannot access PLC connected from water level sensors Proposed Solution We propose the following upgrades/acquisitions to overcome these issues: • New set of Lora communication module and micro controller at all 3 points (Water intake, Communication Tower & Control Room) • To supply new PLC/Micro Processor • To supply and install new water level sensors • To integrate sensors data to control room management console Main Components • LoRa Network
LoRa stands for Long Range Radio and is mainly targeted for the Internet of Things (IoT) and M2M networks. It is a sort of new wireless modulation approach designed precisely for long-range connectivity and low-power communications.
The signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity of Lora IoT tech are
exceptional. For IoT data transfer over long distances with minimal power requirements and low signal strength, Lora provides an excellent solution. In the age of IoT, Lora's unparalleled performance and versatility make it an indispensable tool. The signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity of Lora IoT tech are exceptional.
