This thesis presents the design and implementation of a custom ESP32-based gateway that integrates Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Long Range (LoRa)
technologies for IoT applications.
The background for this study includes the in-creasing demand for low-power, wide-area networks (LPWAN) to facilitate seamless data collection and
transmission for connected devices in various sectors, such as smart cities, agriculture, and industrial automation.
The aim of this thesis was to develop a cost-effective and versatile gateway that combines the advantages of both BLE and LoRa communication, leveraging the capabilities of the ESP32 microcontroller. The material and methods used in this project involve hardware selection, schematic design, PCB layout, firmware development.
The results demonstrate the development of the custom ESP32 gateway, enabling efficient data collection from BLE devices, and transmitting the aggregated data to an MQTT server or a LoRaWAN cloud. In conclusion, the custom ESP32 gateway provides a promising solution for IoT deployments, offering a tailored and flexible approach to data communication and
management.
