| National Workshop on Basic Life Support |
Department: Computer Engineering
The workshop in brief: Low power wide area networks (LPWANs) are a type of wireless network that offer long-range connectivity with low power consumption, making them ideal for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. These networks are designed to enable long-range communications over a wide area while using minimal power, making them ideal for applications that require devices to run on batteries for extended periods.
LPWANs are attractive for IoT applications due to their low cost, low power consumption, and the ability to connect large numbers of devices over long distances. They use various wireless technologies such as LoRaWAN, Sigfox, and NB-IoT to achieve long-range connectivity while minimizing power usage.
The objectives of the workshop are as follows:
• Analysis of the growth of different connection technologies (Machine-to-machine and mobile devices)
• Discuss the underlying technologies
• The emerging applications with specific requirements
• Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) applications, use-cases, challenges and research opportunities.
Objectives:
• To know the emergency action plan and how to care for the casualty in the different emergency situations.
• To demonstrate and re-demonstrate the basic practical procedures in the first aid.
Participants: 27 staff from TIU participated in the workshop.

The outcome and main objectives of the workshop are as follows:
• Low power wide area networks (LPWANs) are a type of wireless network that offer long-range connectivity with low power consumption, making them ideal for IoT applications.
• LPWANs use various wireless technologies such as LoRaWAN, Sigfox, and NB-IoT to achieve long-range connectivity while minimizing power usage.
• LPWANs are attractive for IoT applications due to their low cost, low power consumption, and ability to connect large numbers of devices over long distances.
• LPWANs can be used in various applications such as monitoring soil moisture levels in agricultural fields or tracking the movement of wildlife in remote areas.
• LPWANs are also useful for smart city applications, such as monitoring air quality, traffic flow, and waste management.
• Overall, LPWANs represent a promising technology for IoT applications due to their ability to provide long-range connectivity with low power consumption at a low cost.
• As the number of IoT devices continues to grow, LPWANs will likely become increasingly important in enabling the widespread adoption of IoT technology.
