Summary:The utilization of wireless sensor networks is widespread across numerous industries, including smart agriculture, where the need to remotely monitor agricultural production environments on a large scale is imperative for improving farm product quality and preserving the ecosystem. In this paper, a novel and efficient wireless sensor network framework is presented, which employs LoRa technology to facilitate remote environmental monitoring during agricultural cultivation. Our proposed network framework possesses the capability of long-range data transmission, secure data transfer from source nodes to gateway, high reliability, and easy deployment for large-scale farm monitoring applications. The effectiveness of our model was evaluated in An Giang province, Vietnam, with monitoring indicators encompassing temperature, air humidity, soil moisture, pH of water, CH4, and NH3. The findings reveal that the wireless sensor network model for remote monitoring of the rice cultivation environment fulfills the requirements of good and complete data transmission, high data network security, and a long signal transmission distance of up to 3.5 km at a reasonable cost.
