Our Review
After integrating the 5X Lora Module SX1276 Wireless Transceiver Module Spread Spectrum Long-Range Wireless Communication(915Mhz) into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Frequency: 915Mhz, Range: up to 15km (open field), TX Power: +22 dBm.
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 5X 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.
