Lessons learned through real world deployments
summary
Company deploys real-world LoRa systems and reports concrete outcomes: 300 sensors rolled out across Switzerland, the densest national CO2 network, sending ~30 million packets with about 94% packet reception. Work focuses on sensor QA not just connectivity — repeated climate and pressure chamber calibrations and three-month side-by-side reference runs to model behavior. Lessons include radio fragmentation (2.4 gigahertz limits worldwide reach), battery sizing, varied mounting designs, and that low-cost CO2 units need heavy post‑processing to approach regulatory usefulness.
