[English version] On November 24 the AQUAMON project organized a session to demonstrate some of the project results. The session took place in the premisses of the “Lisboa à Vista” restaurant, which kindly provided the space (a boat docked at Baía do Seixal) not just for the demonstration, but also for placing water sensors and a LoRa gateway node, which
An AQUAMON project video was prepared to be presented at the annual FCT promoted event “Encontro com a Ciência e a Tecnologia em Portugal”, November 3-4, 2020. The video shown the work that is being done in the project, namely concerning the deployment of sensors at Baía do Seixal, which was the location defined in the project proposal for a
A new AQUAMON paper has been accepted to the IEEE/MTS Global OCEANS 2020 conference. The paper, entitled Optimal antenna-height design for improved capacity on over-water radio links affected by tides, investigates the problem of antenna positioning in relation to the water level, considering the influence of tides, to reduce losses and hence improve communication quality.
AQUAMON results on the use of the LoRa technology in aquatic environments were recently published on the Sensors journal (MDPI). The paper is available in Open Access on the Journal web site. The results, obtained from several experimental campaigns in the Seixal Bay, show the critical importance of the location of sensor nodes for achieving reliable communication. The paper also shows
Miguel Gaitán presented today a poster on 15th Doctoral Symposium in Informatics Engineering (DSIE’20).
The 2nd AQUAMON workshop took place last Monday, Dec 10, in Porto. 13 people from FCUL, LNEC and FEUP gathered at CISTER, the research center hosting the team from FEUP, to present the main results from the first project year and to discuss the workplan for the 2nd year. The main outcome of this workshop was that the project is
Carlos Nascimento defended his Thesis on November 13. The thesis is entitled Evaluation of WSN Technology for Dependable Monitoring in Water Environments and was prepared in the context and with the support of AQUAMON. The thesis presents a methodology to help users in the process of selecting adequate WSN technologies for a given WSN-based application in which the number of nodes and
