This paper presents a LoRa-based location tracking system designed to operate without reliance on cellular networks or continuous internet connectivity. The system utilizes GPS-enabled tracking nodes that transmit location data through LoRa communication to a local gateway. The gateway processes the received data and enables visualization through an optional interface. The core communication between devices remains independent of internet infrastructure, making the system suitable for remote and low-connectivity environments. The proposed system ensures low power consumption, extended communication range, and reliable tracking performance. Experimental observations indicate that the system provides effective location monitoring with minimal dependency on external communication networks.
