Great test in rural area. In the company where I work, we tested LoRaWAN (not over ESP32, just industrial modules electronically built by us) and we got covered 1.5 KM in a City area (City of Buenos Aires, south area with a few building with no more than 20 meters tall). We have installed the Antenna and the gateway Kerlink in the building's terrace with 25 meters tall. I forgot: the frequency we used to transmit is 915-928 MHz for LoRaWAN over the US Band. Yet we don't test it in a rural zone yet, but your video is a good reference to estimate a real distance for any prospect project.

The ESP32 module you linked in the description mentions the SX1278 chip, this is the 137-525MHz radio, not usable for 868MHz. Look for SX1276 for the 868MHz band.

This is amazing. I love it... I've already got ideas for this that would blow you away.... I can't wait to find one and buy it fast!!!!!!!!

3:25 absolutely :P and I had exactly that router as a kid! That said, my only connected computer was ethernet wire length away. I'm sure I would cry if I had to use G at ~2mbps again. Next time, try steel electrical conduit. It's stronger and you can screw pieces together firmly (as long as europe works the same way as the US and you can get this feature) and you can also use guy wires (steel cable).

Another great video, thanks!

Amazing. I love your sense of humor ☺️🤣

Would love something like this as a transmitter working with a 'common codebook'. Data transmitted might be tiny, but if known conditions are in place between sender and receiver then that's not a problem. "One if by land, two if by sea", but scaled just a little.

If that is a German humor, I'm pretty happy to have been learning German for some time now. And Kudos for the informativeness!

Fantastic! Really amazing!

Simply amazing

I am really impressed

Extended walkies!!

Control servo motors several miles away. This would be useful for radio controlled drones and aircraft to get long range. Although not enough bandwidth for FPV video.

I like your logo!

Thx for the video...we think on using LoRa as the last Master Communication -Node in our nRF24Mesh. we managed to "mesh" several esp8266 with rf24...LoRaWan can finally broadCast this into the cloud...mmh here i´m swimming still...you show this GateWay...nice..but then again i will need a wlan router (hotSpot) ..our setup is planned to get used in areas without wlan and stuff..so it seem..if no router (e.g) is available i will need a GSM module trans-mitter...mmh..my learning curve on this need a booster..will read more on this "edge"..

I believe some company has set up a lorawan gateway here. Saves me some money

This might be a useful system for nearby conflict avoidance in aviation. Planes within range of each other would appear on the same network, effectively providing impromptu proximity data, and the low bandwidth could be used to pass simple altitutde and GPS positioning data. Like a backup ADSB system.

My understanding is that Mode-S/ADS-B is MUCH higher power than LoRa is both able and allowed to be used at (by consumers), which allows for the same range as LoRa or more. I’ve gotten ADS-B contacts from around 100 miles away with my cheap SDR and its adjustable dipole antenna

dogs are benifited too, extended walkies hahaha!! best excuse ever for a test

from HAM radio, if you want a quick/light mast just buy a cheap telescopic fibreglass fishing pole (get one a couple of metre longer than you want as you throw away the two thinnest sections as they are too thin/flexible). You can sometimes get them reduced as end of line in the German discount grocers.

I’d like to implement this in my UAVs

One thing that I really think needs improviment that I really saw in every single gateway over there is: Stop using 1/4 wave rubber duck antenna and try to use something better like Collinear antennas, it will make it easier to get even longer ranges. I tried it here in Brazil with RFM69HCW +20dbm transceiver, got almost 10km out of it (in urban areas) with simple coax cable collinear antennas.

Navarro Eletrônica I'm assuming it operates around 2,5 GHz,a vertical dipole might work

I worked more than 1 years ago on lora tech. it’s just usable for iot

just imagine trying this thing out during a storm when a blizzard hits your 5-minute-antenna^^ cool technology though

Awesome!

Yagi antennas work like sending donuts from the antenna. If you point it towards the area that you are interested in it should maybe get the 20km range

You could use this to make real life Weasley Family clock.

you even have sats using LoRa now. the tinyGS projects uses ESP32s with LoRa chips and small antennas to receive signals from a few 100km in the sky

LoRa is indeed promising. I only made some tests on a small module with I2C connection on Arduino and it really is interesting. And now that you have mentioned Andreas you must also beat his Distance record ..I dunno ...maybe think of a Stratospheric balloon or something similar ... :)
