A typical LoRa communication is expected to have at least several kilometers of range in open fields. I live in an area where my house is slightly raised compared to the open field next to the town so it is perfect for testing the range of such devices.
In this video, I'm playing with the Reyax RYLR993 lite module that comes with an external antenna. The module supports LoRaWAN, Helium, and the LoRa proprietary communication so it is very easy to be combined with different projects.
For testing purposes, I'm using the module in combination with the RYLR998 modules that I tested before where I have one of them as a base station placed on my balcony, and the other one and the RYLR993 modules are with me while I move through the open field.
Both of the modules performed exceptionally well and I was amazed to get some level of communication at a range of 20 kilometers!!! Check out the video for all of the details.
