In addition, it describes the design, development, implementation and analysis of an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture based on Long-RangeWide-Area Network (LoRaWAN). Moreover, the system has been deployed as a prototype, and the behavior and scope of the system have been analyzed in various real environments: urban, rural and natural. The results obtained from the analysis show that the system is suitable for working in areas without coverage such as mountains.}, organization = {Andalusian Knowledge Agency A-TIC-241-UGR18 B-TIC-568-UGR20}, organization = {Spanish Government PID2019-108713RB-C53}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation TSI-063000-2021-28}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Universities (FPU) 20/02621}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {LPWAN}, keywords = {LoRaWAN}, keywords = {Long range (LoRa)}, keywords = {Uncovered}, keywords = {Low-cost}, keywords = {Communications}, title = {A LoRaWAN Architecture for Communications in Areas without Coverage: Design and Pilot Trials}, doi = {10.3390/electronics11050804}, author = {Delgado Ferro, Félix and Navarro Ortiz, Jorge and Chinchilla Romero, Natalia and Ramos Muñoz, Juan José}, }
