Motorbanca Tracking System Using LoRaWAN

Purpose

Small fishing boats routinely travel beyond cellular coverage, so when something goes wrong there is often no way for families or authorities to know where they are. This tracker set out to report a boat's position and condition over long-range radio instead of the mobile network, reaching where phones can't.

Description

We built a tracker that reads a boat's location alongside onboard sensor data, temperature, humidity, pressure, and motion, and computes a tilt angle that can flag a hull starting to capsize. It transmits each reading over long-range radio to a live monitoring dashboard, and a dedicated distress button lets the crew raise an alert on the next transmission. Getting reliable telemetry off the water and back to shore where there is no cell signal is a genuinely hard connectivity problem, and it's the kind of thing we engineer end to end.
