ISOC Kyrgyz Chapter demonstrates the benefits of lorawan for climate change monitoring

Posted on April 10, 2023July 11, 2023 by Aziz Soltobaev

On April 6-10, 2023, the research team of the Kyrgyz branch of the Internet Society conducted a demonstration of automatic weather stations and other lorawan-enabled sensors for key project partners. The team visited various partners where they carefully unpacked all the sensors and discussed in detail the specifications and suitability of the sensors for pilot locations.

To provide partners with a comprehensive understanding of the sensors and their potential benefits, the team distributed demo products for in-house testing. This allowed partners to gain first-hand experience with the sensors and understand how they work, as well as understand their potential benefits in achieving project goals and future applications.

An important aspect of the research project is the installation of these sensors in pilot sites by the joint efforts of the Kyrgyz branch of ISOC and the team of the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (Italy). By collecting data from these sensors, the project aims to demonstrate the significant value of lorawan technology to key stakeholders.

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a wireless communication protocol specifically designed for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It provides long-range, low-power communications between IoT devices and gateways, making it ideal for connecting sensors and other devices in a variety of settings including smart cities, agriculture, logistics, and environmental monitoring.

One of the main advantages of LoRaWAN technology is its range. It can provide communication for tens of kilometers even in areas with limited technical infrastructure. This makes it suitable for deploying IoT devices in remote locations or areas inaccessible to traditional mobile networks.

Another key benefit of LoRaWAN is its low power consumption. IoT devices using this technology can operate on battery power for long periods of time, sometimes up to ten years. The energy-saving nature of LoRaWAN allows IoT devices to be deployed in remote or inaccessible areas where power supplies are limited or difficult to maintain.

In addition, LoRaWAN supports secure and reliable communications. It includes end-to-end encryption and authentication mechanisms to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted between devices and gateways. This makes it suitable for applications that use sensitive or sensitive data such as environmental monitoring systems or industrial IoT deployments.

Thus, lorawan technology offers long distance connectivity, low power consumption, economy and reliable security features. Its ability to connect IoT devices over long distances, combined with its energy efficiency, makes it an ideal choice for projects such as the one being implemented by the Kyrgyz Branch of the Internet Society. Taking advantage of lorawan technology, the project aims to collect valuable sensor data, demonstrate its value to stakeholders, and promote the development of IoT-based solutions in various fields.

For demonstration purposes, the research team uses the ISM bands. ISM stands for industrial, scientific and medical ranges. These bands enable industries to use wireless technologies without the need for individual licenses, facilitating innovation and the development of diverse applications.

How does the “Sanarip Insan” project contribute to supporting the Kyrgyz government’s digitization efforts?

Posted on March 22, 2023June 23, 2023 by kyrgyzisoc

Kyrgyzstan has actively pursued digitalization over the past decade. In 2018, the country adopted the “National Strategy for Sustainable Development –2040,” which identified building a digital state as crucial for the country’s future. The key component of the strategy was the Taza Koom Digital Transformation Program, which later evolved into the five-year program “Sanarip Kyrgyzstan” (Digital Kyrgyzstan). The years 2018, 2019 and 2020 were designated as the “Years of Development and Digitalization of Regions.”

Under the President Sadyr Zhaparov, digitalization has become a key area of sustainable development. On September 7, 2022, President Sadyr Zhaparov officially stated that “Digitalization is the main trend in world development today. Kyrgyzstan is actively undergoing digitalization in public administration, economy, education, and the social sectors.”

The “Sanarip Insan” project, supported by the European Union, aims to enhance the country’s capacity by creating an ecosystem and enabling environment, providing digital skills training to various segments of the population, particularly to women and youth in rural areas. It also aims to support the government’s efforts in increasing employment opportunities, fostering entrepreneurship, reducing inequality, and promoting inclusive, innovative, and sustainable economic development.

The project aligns with the national policy of modernizing the education system through the inclusive and effective use of information and communication technologies in relevant institutions, educational establishments, and advanced training programs. It emphasizes the widespread adoption of best practices using innovative tools and the creation of equal opportunities for education and training, especially for vulnerable groups like young women, girls, people with disabilities, and migrants. The Sanarip Insan project closely collaborates with the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Culture, Information, Sports and Youth Policy, and the Ministry of Digital Development.

Launched in March 2022, the Sanarip Insan project aims to boost digital literacy among youth, women, migrants, and rural residents. It promotes sustainable development through the use of digital platforms, social media, digital finance, and information technologies for online commerce and entrepreneurship.

To achieve this, the project uses diverse methods such as offline training in remote areas, webinars on modern technologies, and podcasts reaching distant villages and international forums.
