Our Review
For $37.28 CAD, the 4X Lora Module SX1276 Wireless Transceiver Module Spread Spectrum Long-Range Wireless Communication(915Mhz) packs respectable specs: Frequency: 915Mhz, Range: up to 10km (line of sight), TX Power: +17 dBm. It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.
Range testing in a suburban environment reached approximately 3km with clear line of sight using the stock PCB antenna. Switching to an external SMA antenna extended this significantly.
The LoRa modulation provides excellent noise immunity, making it ideal for sensor networks spread across a farm, campus, or building complex.
The 4X Lora Module SX1276 Wireless Transceiver Module Spread Spectrum Long-Range Wireless Communication(915Mhz) earns its place in the parts bin. Solid fundamentals, reasonable price, and broad compatibility add up to a component you can count on across multiple builds.
