Popis: Nowadays, the need to use smart devices with connectivity to information clouds is more common, both for control and for receiving information through sensors, for which there are a variety of technical solutions depending on the type of application of the use case, This could be some of the selection criteria, costs, coverage area, amount of data to be transmitted, etc. The present work consists of a hybrid sensor network solution for agriculture, where they communicate with LoRa technology and this information is sent to an information cloud through Sigfox technology, in this way by only paying a subscription of a device. you can have many low power sensors working simultaneously. A data protection system has been added to the LoRa communication of these sensors, to prevent any intruder from deciphering and interfering with the communication of the sensors, thus making a more robust and reliable system. In addition, a protocol for linking and light data transmission is proposed, which supports the reduction of energy consumption, which is self-sustaining thanks to the inclusion of an energy harvesting system by solar energy, thus making the system work for consecutive years of energy autonomy. The coverage and operation tests have been carried out in urban and rural environments, guaranteeing correct operation at a maximum of 8 km in places without intermediate obstacles between the concentrator and the sensor, 1.5 km in rural environments with many obstacles and 500 m in urban environments. . The data collected is stored in the cloud on the Google Cloud platform, from where it can be consulted anywhere in the world by the final user.
