Data gathering in rural area using publish/subscribe over Wireless Mesh Network

Observation data as a material in the decision making process becomes important. The difficulty of accessing data in remote areas poses a challenge to the development of the area itself. Wireless Mesh network infrastructure has proven to be applicable in rural areas. Publish/Subscribe mechanism also proves to be a communication pattern that can survive in unreliable situations. This research combines Wireless Mesh Network infrastructure and Publish/Subscribe mechanism to support the process of collecting sensor data in the rural area and delivering data to Cloud Server. To observe the data, the sensor takes more than 1 second with the percentage of success above 90%. In the data transmission process, not all data can be transmitted. There is a failure rate but no more than 20%. The number of nodes affects the delay in the data transmission process. Larger delays will occur in larger systems. Considering the ease of its application process in remote areas, its ability to survive in unstable network situations and relatively stable performance, this mechanism can be selected as an alternative data collection solution in the rural area.
