IoT Field Notes from ORMVA Pumping Stations

My ORMVA/SM Agadir internship proved that IoT projects fail in the gaps — power, connectivity, and maintenance — not in the React chart library.

We compared LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and 4G LTE with honest trade-offs: coverage vs bandwidth vs device cost. No single protocol wins everywhere; architecture has to match geography.

The 50+ page technical report was not bureaucracy. It was the artifact operators needed to trust deployment — topology, security, rollback, and sensor semantics spelled out.

Building the React monitoring UI alongside that report connected field reality to what users see on screen. That pairing is what I want to keep doing as an engineer.
