 Starting from September 2016, Saint-Joseph University of Beirut (USJ) will be deploying the first academic [[http://www.semtech.com/wireless-rf/internet-of-things/what_is_lora.html | LoRa]] network in Lebanon. The network will support monitoring of micro-climate conditions in vineyards. Here below you can find a detailed description of the experimental platform implementing an end-to-end LoRaWAN solution.
