Cover Story: This article details the design, development, and assessment of a wildlife monitoring application for IoT animal-repelling devices that is able to cover large areas, thanks to low-power wide area network (LPWAN), which bridges the gap between cellular technologies and short-range wireless technologies. This article first presents a detailed survey of LPWAN for smart agriculture and wildlife monitoring applications. We evaluate the performance of LoRa (the global de-facto LPWAN) transmission technology, operating in the 433 and 868 MHz bands, aimed at wildlife monitoring in a forest vegetation area. Findings from this study show that achievable performance can greatly vary between the 433 and 868 MHz, and caution is required when taking numbers at face value, as this can have implications for IoT applications.
