Add long-range LoRa radio to any Feather board with the Adafruit LoRa Radio FeatherWing. Built around the SX127x LoRa module, this add-on provides kilometre-range packet radio communication at 900 MHz (tuneable to 868 MHz or 915 MHz) — perfect for sensor networks, remote monitoring, and bridging to the Internet via a WiFi or cellular Feather.

Unlike WiFi or Bluetooth, LoRa uses simple packet-based communication with no pairing or association needed. With default settings, expect over 2 km line-of-sight range using a simple wire antenna, or up to 20 km with directional antennas and optimised settings.

Key Features

  • SX127x LoRa Module – 900 MHz (tuneable to 868/915 MHz ISM bands) with SPI interface
  • +5 to +20 dBm Output – Up to 100 mW transmit power, selectable in software
  • ~2 km Range – Line-of-sight with wire antenna; up to 20 km with directional antennas
  • Low Power – ~300 µA full sleep, ~120 mA peak transmit at +20 dBm, ~40 mA active listening
  • Flexible Antenna Options – Solder pad for wire antenna, or add a uFL/SMA edge-mount connector
  • Arduino Libraries – Ready-to-use packet radio libraries
  • FeatherWing Form Factor – Stacks onto any Feather board

Ideal For

  • Long-range sensor networks and remote data collection
  • LoRa-to-Internet gateways via WiFi or cellular Feathers
  • Campus or farm-wide wireless communication
  • Battery-powered remote monitoring stations

Package Contents

  • 1× Adafruit LoRa Radio FeatherWing (RFM95W @ 900 MHz)
  • Header pins (soldering required)
Note: This radio can only communicate with other LoRa radios at 900 MHz — it is not compatible with RFM69 modules or LoRa radios at 433 MHz. Antenna not included; solder a wire antenna or attach a uFL/SMA connector. Some wiring configuration is required depending on your Feather board. Tested with Feather ESP8266, Teensy 3 Feather, Feather 32u4, and Feather M0 series.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

FeatherWing
A FeatherWing is an add-on board made to plug into the Feather microcontroller board layout. Knowing a product is a FeatherWing helps you check whether it will physically and electrically fit your Feather-style mainboard.
LoRa
LoRa is a long-range, low-power wireless radio technology often used for telemetry, remote sensors and other links that send small amounts of data over long distances. It is distinct from Bluetooth and WiFi, so sharing a connector or pinout with LoRa hardware does not mean a device actually uses LoRa.
SMA
SMA is a small threaded coaxial (RF) connector widely used to attach antennas and other radio-frequency cables. A device with SMA antenna ports needs antennas or pigtails with matching SMA connectors, or a suitable adapter, to connect to them.
SPI
A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
