Deploying LoRa Networks in remote areas: Uganda Refugee Settlements
summary
UNHCR and Greencityzen run a large-scale pilot in Uganda refugee settlements that uses LoRaWAN to secure drinking water by tracking tank levels and deliveries. The deployment pairs ultrasonic level sensors with long-range gateways (up to about 10 km reported) and funnels all devices into an open TTN platform so multiple vendors and applications share one backend. The paragraph reports concrete hardware, range, platform choice, operational challenges and what actually works.
