Low-Cost WSN-Based Computer Network Design for MSMEs
Keywords:
Wireless Sensor Networks, Low Cost Networks, SMEs, IoT, Network Efficiency, Mesh TopologyAbstract
Digital transformation in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector has become a strategic necessity to improve efficiency and competitiveness in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, the main obstacle faced by MSMEs in Indonesia is limited capital to build reliable and cost-efficient sensor network infrastructure. This study aims to design a low-cost Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) conceptual model that can be implemented in stages by MSME players. The research approach uses a systematic literature study of 51 international and national journals discussing WSN architecture, mesh topology, energy efficiency, and network resource management. The results show that WSN designs with mesh topology using economical devices such as NodeMCU ESP8266 and DHT11 sensors can reduce costs by up to 65% compared to conventional LAN networks. The integration of mesh topology and peer-to-peer routing improves connectivity reliability without the need for additional access points. This study also highlights the importance of bandwidth optimization and router load management to maintain stable performance in the context of MSMEs with limited infrastructure. In conclusion, the low-cost WSN network model is feasible as a foundation for MSME digitalization and can serve as a basis for the development of future IoT-based smart systems.
