Add long-range LoRa radio to any Feather board with the Adafruit LoRa Radio FeatherWing. Built around the SX127x LoRa module, this add-on provides kilometre-range packet radio communication at 433 MHz — perfect for sensor networks, remote monitoring, and bridging to the Internet via a WiFi or cellular Feather.

Unlike WiFi or Bluetooth, LoRa uses simple packet-based communication with no pairing or association needed. With default settings, expect over 2 km line-of-sight range using a simple wire antenna, or up to 20 km with directional antennas and optimised settings.

Key Features

• SX127x LoRa Module – 433 MHz with SPI interface, software-tuneable frequency
• +5 to +20 dBm Output – Up to 100 mW transmit power, selectable in software
