Based on the SX1276 LoRa chipset, this breakout achieves ranges of approximately 2 km line of sight with a simple wire antenna — or up to 20 km with directional antennas and optimised settings.\n\nThis is the 900 MHz version, which supports both 868 MHz (European ISM) and 915 MHz (American/Australian ISM) — the exact frequency is configured in software since the radio can be tuned dynamically. LoRa modulation trades raw data speed for dramatically extended range compared to WiFi or Bluetooth. These packet radios require no pairing or association — simply send data and any matching receiver will pick it up.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nSX1276 LoRa Modulation – Long-range spread-spectrum radio, far exceeding standard FSK modules\n\n+5 to +20 dBm Transmit Power – Up to 100 mW output, selectable in software\n\n868/915 MHz ISM Bands – Software-tunable for European (868 MHz) or American/Australian (915 MHz) use\n\n~2 km Range – Line of sight with simple wire antenna; further with directional antennas\n\nSPI Interface – Ready-to-go with Arduino libraries\n\nBuilt-in Voltage Regulator & Level Shifter – Accepts 3–5 V DC power and logic\n\nFlexible Antenna Options – Solder a wire antenna or attach a uFL/SMA connector for an external antenna\n\nLow Power Consumption – ~100 mA peak during +20 dBm transmit, ~30 mA during active listening\n\n\n\nNote: LoRa radios can only communicate with other LoRa radios on the same frequency. This 868/915 MHz module cannot talk to 433 MHz LoRa modules or RFM69-series FSK radios.\n\n\nAlso Consider\n\n\nRFM95W LoRa Breakout – 433 MHz – Same LoRa breakout in the 433 MHz band\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nLong-range sensor networks and remote telemetry\nCampus or town-wide data transmission\nIoT projects requiring extended range over high speed\nAgricultural or environmental monitoring stations\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit RFM95W LoRa Radio Transceiver Breakout – 868/915 MHz\n1× Header strip (soldering required)\n\n\n\nTip: You will need to solder a short piece of wire (any solid or stranded core) to create your antenna. Optionally, attach a uFL or SMA edge-mount connector for an external duck antenna.\n\n\nResources\n\nAdafruit RFM9x LoRa Breakout Guide\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":11427,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-3072","price":38.92,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
