Abstract:
LoRa (Long Range) technology is suggested as an effective way to ensure the safety of fisher folks in Catanduanes. The paper proposes a tracking device system for boats there, using low-power wireless tech to transmit data between the device and a network of gateways. This technology can send small data amounts over long distances, enabling real-time location tracking even in areas with weak network signals. When paired with GPS, LoRa can boost tracking accuracy. The system includes a GPS module, water level sensor, and emergency button. Test results confirm the Neo 6M GPS module provides precise boat location coordinates. The water sensor triggers an emergency signal to authorities if levels get critical. Additionally, a webpage displays real-time locations of LoRa devices, helping personnel track their movement.
