During the Svalbard field campaign, the MISO team carried out additional communication tests to support autonomous GHG monitoring in Arctic conditions.

  • End-to-end data transmission was successfully tested: the drone-based hotspot collected greenhouse gas measurements from static devices in remote areas.
  • LoRa technology was used for low-energy, long-range communication.
  • Wi-Fi was used for faster data transfer and model updates.
  • As a backup, data were also transmitted via 4G directly to the cloud for comparison.

  • The communication antenna should be installed on the bottom of the drone for better performance.
  • The power supply to the LoRa units on the drone must be properly secured during the entire procedure.

Thanks to Huy Duong Gia, TorbjΓΈrn, Vishall, Jurian, and Thibault for their work during these tests.
