Prototype of Long-Range Radio Communication for e-Nelayan Devices using LoRaWAN

Abstract

In this paper, development progress of a long-range radio communication-based fishing assistant system called e-Nelayan is reported. The purpose of the system is to increase the productivity, safety, and welfare of fishermen using mobile phone and long-range radio based system that enables them to report maritime violations, access and exchange information regarding weather, fishing area, and marketplace, as well as communicate with mainland using Android-based mobile phone within extended range. We used LoRaWAN as a base technology for long-range communication scheme. In this work, the test conducted to obtain an insight to e-Nelayan device (LoRa-based) received RSSI and its packet loss. The received data collected in a server also includes the GPS tracking data. The test results show that our system can reach about 5 km of distance between end-node to the LoRa Gateway within urban area (LoS configuration) and about 2 km for NLOS configuration.

Prototyping of e-fisherman web server to support Indonesian fishermen’s activities

“…The system also contains three components, divided into two 'sides' based on the user activities, i.e., (i) a mobile application (e-Nelayan Apps version 1.0) installed on an e-Nelayan device (LoRa radio) to be used by "clients" (fishermen), and (ii) a web application acting as a "server" to be used by an administrator assigned by policymakers and law enforcement personnel. The design of the mobile application and the LoRa radio were elaborated in [8]- [10], with the structure, implementation, and evaluation of web application part being more highlighted in this present study. In the fishery sector, the report on ICT application is still an interesting and open analysis area in Indonesia, especially for small boat fishermen [11], [12].…”
