The LoRa RFM95 IoT Board for Raspberry Pi is a long-range wireless communication module based on the RFM95 LoRa transceiver. Operating at 915 MHz (AU/US frequency), it provides spread spectrum communication with high interference resistance, making it suitable for IoT, remote sensing, and telemetry applications.
The board connects to the Raspberry Pi via the GPIO header and is also compatible with the Crowtail connector system. With a maximum link budget of 168 dB and 20 dBm output power, it achieves long-range communication with very low power consumption in sleep mode.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- LoRa
- LoRa is a long-range, low-power radio technology often used for telemetry and remote sensors. It matters here because the connector and pinout are compatible with some LoRa telemetry products, even though this module uses Bluetooth instead.
