AB The urban population, worldwide, is growing exponentially and with it the demandfor information on pollution levels, vehicle traffic, or available parking, giving rise to citizensconnected to their environment. This article presents an experimental long range (LoRa) and lowpower consumption network, with a combination of static and mobile wireless sensors (hybridarchitecture) to tune and validate concentrator placement, to obtain a large coverage in an urbanenvironment. A mobile node has been used, carrying a gateway and various sensors. The ActivationBy Personalization (ABP) mode has been used, justified for urban applications requiring multicasting.This allows to compare the coverage of each static gateway, being able to make practical decisionsabout its location. With this methodology, it has been possible to provide service to the city ofMalaga, through a single concentrator node. The information acquired is synchronized in an externaldatabase, to monitor the data in real time, being able to geolocate the dataframes through webmapping services. This work presents the development and implementation of a hybrid wirelesssensor network of long range and low power, configured and tuned to achieve efficient performancein a mid-size city, and tested in experiments in a real urban environment.
