6 . IOT Mesh Device Network : The use of IoT device networks has not yet become a standard solution in general practice , as it was expected initially . Within this solution also , IoT Device Mesh is used only for limited and identified high risk area ( s ), where drone deployment is difficult due to infrastructural challenges . IoT Device Mesh implementation and Maintenance is costly compared to the UAV based approach . However IoT Devices can collect more sensor data than UAVs .
LoRa based sensor nodes transmit the data to an IoT gateway . The collected sensor data then gets integrated with other source systems to produce intelligent insights . However , in the case
