Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents a long range wide area network (LoRaWAN) testbed for environmental monitoring of artefacts within a museum storage facility. The goal is to identify the optimum feasible wireless technology for this application by studying eight different wireless technologies. A testbed network was deployed inside a 5600 m2concrete building to validate the performance of the candidate wireless technologies by way of measurements. In addition, a LoRaWAN scalability approach was also used to simulate the packet delivery ratio for a 500 node network. The wireless communication performance of LoRa WAN was shown to offer the most optimal solution for wireless communication for museum artefact monitoring application.
