Our Review
For $91.43 CAD, the ESP32 LoRa V4 Development Board with ESP32-S3 SX1262 LoRa Module 0.96 Inch OLED Display WiFi Bluetooth 2MB PSRAM 16MB Flash Supports GPS & Solar LoRa Antenna for AR Duino Meshtastic LoRaWAN IOT Pack packs respectable specs: Frequency: 915MHz (NA), Range: up to 5km, 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.
