Evaluation of Internet Connection Reconfiguration for Reliable Monitoring and Treatment of Toraja Lada Katokkon Smart Farming

Abstract

This study evaluates the internet transmission performance in smart farming in Lembang Madandan, Tana Toraja Regency, focusing on how router distance affects download speed, upload speed, and latency. The greenhouse cultivates Lada Katokkon plants, valuable yet sensitive to environmental conditions, necessitating IoT technology for monitoring and control. Data were collected at distances ranging from 1 to 20 meters under loaded and unloaded conditions. Results showed that the download speed fluctuated significantly with values ranging from 4.3 Mbps to 12 Mbps, upload speed varied between 1 Mbps and 3.1 Mbps, unloaded latency ranged from 0 ms to 49 ms, and loaded latency ranged from 304 ms to 995 ms. These variations indicate that distance significantly affects network performance. Optimizing device placement, adding access points, and using repeaters or extenders are recommended to improve signal strength and connection stability. Limitations include specific greenhouse conditions and measurement range. Further studies should explore other environmental factors and test network optimization strategies. Implementing these strategies is expected to enhance IoT system operation, boost productivity, and sustainability in smart agriculture, and ensure better management of Lada Katokkon plants.
