ABSTRACTThe LoRaWAN Technology opens new possibilities for gathering and analysis of
distributed data. In the paper we concentrate on its maritime usability which was tested by
us in the period from June to August 2018. Measurements of the LoRaWAN network coverage
in the Bay of Gdansk area were carried out. Various conditions and places were tested. The
research was planned in such a way as to gradually increase the range and control the impact of
environmental factors. The results of the measurements confirm the wide application and a broad
range of the technology. Combined with cloud computing it leads to new kinds of services and
applications.
